Upper back pain 6 months post op



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I am almost 6 months post-op and am having regular pain in my upper back and sometimes stomach, just over-tightness like I worked out too hard, or stood around too much. I stopped working out as much but the pain has continued, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

If you still have your gallbladder, it might be worth getting an ultrasound to check for stones.

I had this a couple days after surgery. I am 5 days out and have not felt it again. I assumed it was from lying in a bad position or something. The nurses told me it was trapped air in the body.

Back pain in the upper right quadrant is associated with gallbladder disease. If you still have your gallbladder you may want to get it checked out.

No gall bladder here either. :) They ripped it out 30 years ago. :) Besides, my pain was on the upper left. But thank you for the info! This is important for all to know! I did not know that fact.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
