Please someone let me know
When I used my stomach muscles, it felt like I had used them to do 1000 crunches for the first time ever. They hurt! I also had some gas pressure in my shoulders. It was really uncomfortable but not terribly painful.

If the pain is unbearable you may want to contact your surgeons office to be on the safe side, but I do remember having pains in my shoulders and back, and that IS normal and indicates your surgeons sewed and stitched your band in place and it will be sore for a about 3-6 weeks, I applied a heat pad and tool liquid Tylenol.
Hi I had mine a week ago thursday. I had/have the same sensation. My MD repaired a hernia at the same time. But I think the pain is air bubbles. It gets real acute at times. Earlier today I was experiencing that pain again but my daughter made me laugh which pushed up a giant burp! I had instant relief! Only problem is it made me laugh more which hurt the incisions.
Have you tried moving around or using gas-x?
PS I agree - if in doubt call your doc!
