Hi

I had my sleeve about 7 weeks ago and lost about 35 pounds which is great. Recently though I seem to be having major amounts of seemingly unbearable back pain, anyone had this before?

Excess weight puts strain and pressure on your spine and back. As you lose it, especially rapidly like many wls patients do, you can experience some pain from it. I did for a while, but it's eased up. If it lingers too long or gets worse, I'd suggest talking to your PCP about seeing a chiropractor just to be on the safe side.

Yes I had tremendous amount of back pain. When lost approximately 80 pounds (from 260) my back started really hurting. Went to PT, rested, finally I a microdiscectomy-microdecompression-spine-surgery to relieve my pain. The Dr said it wasn't because of my rapid weight loss, however I totally disagree.
