After all the surgeries I've had my back has been horrible too. Heating pad and muscle rubs help a lot. Also walking helps me.

My back is horrible I am in physical therapy. The therapist says I may have arthritis in my back. It only started since my surgery. You would think taking off 95+ pounds would make my back better not much worse.

Does anyone think this is related to the surgery on the front? Or just a coincidence?

After i had my surgery one of the assistants in one of my docs office said physical therapy is needed after stomach surgery sometimes to help rebuild your core. I was told it can cause weakness that your back tries to compensate for. My back was a mess before surgery. 100+lbs down and I'm still in constant chronic pain in my back, hips, hell, everywhere. This was one of few things to NOT change for me unfortunately. Hoping that once i get into a normal bmi range things will get better. Maybe another 15 to 20lbs or so. Fingers crossed[emoji26]

I had the sleeve so i can get my 2nd spine surgery next. Neuro needed me to loose weight first but was relieved to learn the air they pump in stomach during sleeve can cause bad back pain many get this with the band also. My Back was bad first week after my sleeve better noe.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
