I had some pain between my shoulder blades. Also a little in my lower back if I slouched too much. I had surgery the same day as you. My back isn't bothering me anymore. I hope it gets better soon!

Yup, I had mine on the 12th too... I think it is because we are using our back muscles more... I had the same issue after having all my kids, with the lax stomach muscles...I have started to use my stomach muscles more to sit up instead of arms so the pain from the stitches aren't so bad. Depending on the pain meds too if you take to much it can actually causes an adverse reaction.

I actually had the sleeve done because of the weight I gained due to breaking my L5 vertebra in half (and all the surgeries that followed). I've suffered from excruciating back pain for over ten years now and have noticed that I'm getting many more muscle spasms since the surgery. I log roll out of bed as usual, but still the pain has increased. I'm not sure why it has happened. I've mentioned it to my ortho and she states that my spine is stable (even though she didn't order any new images and is going off a year and a half old MRI). I'm fed up with her as it is, so I'm switching back to a neuro. I was told that the weight loss would help my back, but it's done the opposite. It sucks because I'm already disabled, due to my spine injury, and can't do much. My life changed drastically after my injury. I used to be so active. Now all I do is sit around the house all day. Boring!

Good luck with your back pain. I've been taking my anti-spasm medications; maybe a muscle relaxer will work for you.
