I didn't lose a ton, about 70 lbs in 2 years, but after I lost about 50, my body started hurting. I assumed it was from exercising. Turns out I have arthritis in my bones. Knees and some in back and I'm guessing all over, but haven't been tested elsewhere. I exercise daily and I a, finding I'm having hip pain and some knee and back pain. After you lose weight, did anyone else's body just kinda go crazy like this? I feel like I woke a beast inside of me and although Im thrilled with the weight loss, I can't help but wonder why after losing weight, I feel worse than I did when I was heavy. Did anyone else go through so,etching similar?

Do you know if it's related to the weight loss? I have lots of joint problems but they were there before I got banded. I've lost around 140 lbs. and even with hip replacement surgery, I have joint disease, arthritis, and inflammatory disease. That means I have chronic pain which is controlled by medication but everything I take has side effects.

Per my doctors, had I not had WLS, I'd have been in a wheelchair and likely totally immobile. I can't imagine anything worse than being immobile when you don't have to be. Hope this is just a bump in the road for you and not permanent. Keep us posted!

I read alot about pain after losing weight - particularly hip pain. Not sure if anyone knows what causes it.

If you didn't have WLS, those 70 pounds would put much more force on your joints, making your pain worse. All the more reason to keep losing weight.
