My surgery was February 10th 2014. Everything went splendidly. No gas pains from anesthesia, no pain period. About 6 days later I had this awful pain in my back......in the middle and it wrapped around to my ribs. Its strange and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced back paid - and what can you tell me about it.

Call your doctor, but it is probably gas...walking will help a LOT... the dr may recomment gas-x or something to help...this is not uncommon, but you want to make sure that is all it is...

good luck....

Thanks so much Big Girl

I'm having that right now!! Did it resolve? Was it gas? R u ok now??

I called the nurse at my doctors practice and she told me I might be eating too much or too much Fiber ..... I am 19 days post surgery so I can't imagine eating too much. I went back to the liquid stage and had to relieve constipation and so far ( knock on wood) back pain is almost gone. Ps the only thing food wise I ate was puréed Lentil Soup but she felt lentils are too fiber outs and could have caused constipation.

So many things to learn lol. I hope you are feeling better. How far out are you since surgery?
