Help - awful pain mid back.

[archiesmum]

I'm hoping that somebody can point me in the right direction. I'm a bander and had a fill on 11th Oct. I'm now experiencing awful pain in my back - mid way down both sides. Any ideas? It's worse when I eat?? I know that I'm not drinking 2 litres as day more like 1 but waterworks seem fine................I shall phone the bariatric nurse tomorrow as well as make an appointment with GP. Ta folks.

Hi there,

This may have nothing to do with the band, it sounds like the kidney area but I am no doctor so best get it checked out.

Might be a little urine infection if you are not drinking so much.

Hope you feel better soon. x

I have been for a band de fill today as i was too tight, and my nurse said that people can experience pain in a number of areas if they have over eaten or if band is too tight and she did mention the back area, although i get pain in my shoulder, so hope this helps a little, but speak with your nurse tomorrow. How much do you have in your band?

could it be gall stones????? i have no idea where the pain for this is or as the others have said it could be a water infection as that gives you pain in the sides...hope you get it sorted out soon and get rid of the pain xxx

Does sound like the kidney area to me so try drinking loads of water and flush them untill you get to see the gp. Good luck and hope you get sorted soonxxx

Definately see the doctor! My dad had the bypass (I would not think this would be a problem on the band) but he had internal bleeding. It would have been a lethal problem had he not gone to the hospital when he did.

but again with the band I would not think this would be such a threat. Either way CYA. go see the doctor.
