8 Days Since Surgery-New Pain-Worried

Hoping someone can help me with some advise. I had LAP-BAND®® surgery done November 19 and everything has gone well. I'm following the liquid diet to the tea and have taken it easy so as not to risk any injury. Here is where the problem starts and it has me worried. Yesterday afternoon I was sitting in a chair but was sitting slightly slouched. It was uncomfortable for my stomach so I put the palms of my hands down on each side of my chair to push myself up straighter. Didn't even have to put much effort into it and I felt something like a stitch tear inside. Don't know if it's the port or the band itself around the stomach. Just can't decided. That area has been more painful since. Sore inside. Then today I had barely started shopping at a pet store, all I had done is walk, no lifting, pushing, nothing. I was joking around with my daughter and a clerk at the store and started to laugh. Oh did that hurt! :cool2: The same place felt like it pulled in there some. It's been about two hours since that and if I am not sitting or lying still it is very painful. Had to call an end to the shopping because it was hurting enough that I was shedding a few tears. My daughter is all ready to have me call the doctor but I don't like to create a fuss if it's nothing to worry about. Too embarrassing.   Has anyone had this happen? Is it anything to be concerned about? I feel sore inside almost like I was just a couple of days out of surgery. Any advise would be appreciated!! Since I wrote in this earlier I have been having hunger pangs and when I do it is causing sharp pain in that same place. Not so painful that I can't handle it but it is new.
