I went for my physical today and afterwards asked my family physician about neck pain and how it will go down to the middle of my back if it was possibly because of my posture, as I sit at a desk all day and I was not sure if it could be something with my lapband. She just said hmmm, and explained the proper posture and gave me a handout on some back exercises, which I will do and try to be more mindful of my posture. My concern is could this be related to my lapband. The pain seems to settle right in the middle of my back during the day at times, and in the evening. I take Tyleonl, which seems to help some, and can be really painful and uncomfortable at times as if it's going to take my breath away and it's hard to get comfortable. I have an appt with my surgeon next week and will ask him, but just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this.

Yes!! I have this too. There is no sitting pattern or type of exercise that brings it on. Just all of a sudden my mid back will start to ache. I didn't have this pre-band, unless I was working stuck in one position for an hour or more. I wonder if it is related to gas build up. Let me know what you find out.

I have it too. Right between my shoulder blades and sometimes underneath my right shoulder blade. I wonder if it's from either eating too big of bites or eating too much. I have an appt next week and will ask too. Let us know what your doc says.

Will do. Thanks.
