I was sleeved July 1st and I'm down 46 lbs. Lately I've been having a hard time sleeping because of hip and low back pain. I keep wondering if it has or constipation. My body is changing and adjusting. Just wondering if its just me.

I had hip pain as well and still do from time to time especially if I do a lot of walking. I am sure somewhere in all of this the surgery and our bodies changing has something to do with it. I also think our carrying all the extra weight for so many years has something to do with it as well and maybe some arthritis as well. I am certainly not a doctor so this is strictly my opinion but just think of the pain you would have years down the road with the extra weight. I find tylenol helps it.

Last week I thought my back was just bothering me as it does from time to time...Then, I poo'd for the first time in a week and the pain was gone. This week, the same thing. I'm guessing the two are related! :-)

I would have to agree if you are that constipated that the pressure is affecting some nerves. We don't have the padding anymore and IMHO I would think the pressure is closer to the nerves. Still not a doctor though!
