You know, I wake up a lot at night with quite a bit of hip pain. I never attributed it to possibly having something to do with weight loss. Interesting, I am curious to see what others have to say.

I've actually read this elsewhere on this thread somewhere. All of your bones and joints have had to accommodate extra weight, and they're now shifting to accommodate your rapid weight loss. I wonder if chiropractic care would help alleviate the pain at all.

You may want to see an orthopedic specialist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan and not go for just symptomatic relief from a chiropractor. Could be a lot of arthritis caused by joint damage.

I just saw this post. I'm two months out from surgery today. Loss of 36 pounds, and lately, I find that my joints are sore after sleeping, or lying around for to long. I was wondering if it was from the weight loss as well.

Thanks for posting the question.

Happens to a lot of us.. When I was about two months out my left hip was in excruciating pain every time I tried to walk.. For me it was scary because I have metal pins in that hip from when I was a child and haven't had this pain since then.

Tests and ex-rays later nothing was found...

I did a search on here and voila! Lots of people with "normal" hips had the same problem, about the same time. I took it to mean shifting weight shifting way our body's "carry" it and losing weight causes different center of gravity and different (and temporary) aches and pains..

As quick as it came.. It left! Good luck :)

I am 4 months out, down about 56 lbs and have noticed the past couple of weeks that my hips have been achy as well. Mostly when I first get up of a morning and then when I sit for long periods of time, which is a lot, since I have a desk job. I try to be as active as I can while at work, but sometimes it's just not possible..

Have you started walking alot? My hips and knees hurt when I need new running shoes. Give that a try.

Also, I get bursitis in my hip joints. After my sleeve surgery and increasing my walking my bursitis started up again. Cortisone shot helped tremendously.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
