Back pain- will it get better?

I am suffering from a herniated disk in my low back. Has anyone had a low back issue get better after losing weight?

I'm desperate to be out of pain and off of pain meds.

    I feel your pain. I have Degenerative Disk Disease and the pain is always there. My doctor told me that's one of the things WLS won't cure. Best of luck

    Thank you for you reply concerning insurance wait after submitting. I also have a small herniated disc in my back. I was told by members of my suport group that my back will feel better as the weight comes off. Good luck with your surgery and I will keep in touch.
