Hello Everyone,

I was sleeved on 2/10/17. I'm down 10lbs, and have no issues getting liquids down. Between Water, crystal light and Powerade zero I easily drink 60 - 80oz per day and no issues with Protein. This part has been easy, almost too easy.

Initially the gas pains were difficult, but I was able to manage. Walking certainly helped, and I had zero issues walking. I started with a block, now I can walk 5 blocks with no issues.

Last night I started to feel discomfort in my lower back. I didn’t think twice, but today, it's so severe, that I'm thinking about calling my doctor. Has anyone else had this problem? Could it still be the gas?

I don't want to alarm you but I had very serious back pain about a week out. It felt similar to kidney stone pain. I went to the ER, and I thought I was overreacting. But I had formed a blood clot near my liver. I'm very glad I listened to my body. Listen to your you'll know when something is wrong. And if you even feel a hint something is wrong, get it checked. You won't regret being to cautious, but you would regret not being cautious enough.

Thank you so much. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow
