Lower Back / Intestional Pain - Go to Dr or Not

I'll start by saying I have contacted my surgeons office and I'm waiting for a reply. In the meantime, any lessons learned experience/insight is appreciated!


I was sleeved back on 7/11. Have been doing pretty well to date. At the end of last week I started having lower back pain that's level of intensity comes and goes but the pain is constant and feeling very fatigued. Now if I eat or drink I have abdominal cramping/pain - not in my stomach region - more intestines region. No vomiting or diarrhea just nauseous after I eat/drink. I thought maybe I had a bladder infection even though my urine is light. I wanted to see if any of you have experienced this before and or if you think it's something to go to the ER over. I'm generally a wait and see what happens kind of girl, but since surgery, I tend to be a little more anxious.

Are you 'going' regularly? I still fight constipation, 21 months out. See what your surgeon has to say but it may not even be surgery related.

That would have been my first question as well. Fortunately, I'm regular. Not like pre-surgery, but once a day. Even thought may be gas so I've been taking extra strength gas x. So odd. The fact that it hurts after eating or drinking is what's baffling me. Thought it may be gallstone or pancreas related.
