Is the pain in my back a sign?

I do not feel restriction (that I know of) but the last couple nights while eating, I have had a sharp pain in my back - like I need to burp really bad but can't...is this a sign of restriction? I feel so stupid!

Don't feel stupid, you haven't done anything wrong.

The pain in your back could be just gas, or maybe it is a sign that you've had enough to eat. The band pushes on different nerves . So do you get this pain while eating or long after you've eaten?

My Dr told me that the pain would be in my chest. I have the nerve that shoots up into my shoulder, when I've had enough to eat and with the first twinge of pain, you do not want to eat one more bite. It's very painful.

I haven't got restriction yet and still get the stop eating sign.

You should call your Dr and discuss this with him to make sure on whats going on. I'm only guessing!

I only get it while eating, like there's an air bubble and after about 5 minutes, it's gone.

Sounds like your full sign. That's how my shoulder is,as soon as I stop eating it goes away.
