Bye Bye Back Pain
One of the reasons that I had weight loss surgery was because I have a bad back. The extra weight I was carrying caused me such pain that I was afraid that I would soon be facing disability. Having lost 125 pounds has improved my pain so that I am able to function. I still have pain, but nothing like I had before.
A new study confirms what I experienced. It finds that back pain is relieved following the weight loss that goes along with weight loss surgery. While my back pain is still there, it is a whole lot better. Weight loss surgery does not cure back pain, but in many cases patients find relief.
Interesting Post!
Well, it seems that most chiropractic patients started wearing sacroiliac belts (aka SI belt) around their pelvis as it is recommended by most chiropractors across America. By providing the correct balance of resistance and resilience, the sacroiliac belt re-establishes the joint’s normal motion, relieving stress and instability at these weight bearing structures.
There are many good SI Belts out there, but as far as quality, comfort, and prices are considered - Serola Sacroiliac Belt seems to be the best in the market. I’d say it was well worth my $38 investment when I was in severe back pain, which was caused by a sports injury.

Hope this info is helpful to others. Good Luck!

i have had back pain prior to roux-en-y gastric bypass. my back pain has almost completely gone away. two years prior to the gastric bypass i had a microdiscectomy with partial lumbar laminectomy. this was a great success. after rehab i started feeling better and now only need tylenol when i work out in the garden to long or something like that. i know the extra weight was making my back worse. i am so happy i had the surgery everything is looking up. my health is so much better in many ways.
good luck to all who choose this miracle of a surgery to improve thier life. it is just a tool i realize but if used correctly it can change your life!

I have 4 hernated disc in my back and am going for surgery RNY on Feb.9th My pain level after several years of being off work is not good and I am hoping the surgery will improve this. I know the disc will be the same but as you say the weight has to add to the problem and pain levels. I would like to be active again…as a youg person I was VERY active.
