I am 4 months out and I get pains from my tummy going to the middle of my back. It feels like when you are starving and your stomach is burning put it goes to my back. It’s not painful but very annoying and uncomfortable. I see my doctor January 5th I plan on telling him. I’m freaking myself out like it’s something horrible. The feeling is not consistent. It comes and goes throughout the day. Has anyone felt like this before. I just started feeling this the past month.

Do you still have your gallbladder? Maybe it's referred pain from an issue with that?

I had my sleeve done on Dec 4th and today at my one week visit that was the main complaint I had! I don’t have the feeling going to my back but the best way I could describe it was a starving gnawing feeling although I’m not hungry. You’re right, it’s not painful but it is annoying and uncomfortable!! The only explanation he really gave me was that things are freaked out and trying to adjust and whatever I do, don’t try to remedy the sensation by eating because it will become an unhealthy habit. I know it’s not really an answer, but you are not alone!!!!!

I would suspect gallbladder issues if you still have yours.

I️ don’t feel like it’s gallbladder because the pain is not where my gallbladder would be.

My pain is bad, right in the upper-middle of the abdomen, going through to the back. Had some pain between my shoulder blades with it that was so bad it sent me to the ER. They think it is gallbladder, even though my ultrasound only showed a slightly distended gallbladder with either 2 polyps or 2 small gallstones. They scheduled me for a HIDA scan on the 15th. Then hopefully we can find out.

Everyone is a little different when it comes to pain locations, etc... yours could be gallbladder. I would let your doctor know and make an appointment. Hope you feel better soon.
