A member asked:
Soar back could it be from my hanging belly skin after bariatric surgery where i lost 80kg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: The skin represents more weight on your front body, therefore more weight for your back which can lead to posture modifications. You can try searching for spinal hygiene exercises, massages or warm water compresses. If the pain increases or changes in any way (let's say it stays in one area or makes it impossible for you to do certain movements) go see your physician. Congrats on the weight loss!
