well im about 3 and a half weeks post op after having lap band and i've been doing fantastic until about 4 days ago when i starting burping and farting more than i have been on lap band and ive been getting alot of pain during burps. i've also went 4 wheel driving 5 days ago which i dont know if it caused any problems as this didnt start until the following day and it didnt hurt during. i also started to eat some mushy foods a bit earlier (just some scrambled eggs) which went down quite ok, no pain, ate super slow and chewed very well. ive tried taking some Degas to help with the burping but no such luck. my parents suggested fennel tea but not working either... perhaps im over reacting and this is just due to starting food again after such a long time on liquids.....and hopefully not a band slip has anyone had similiar issues where they burp constantly and it hurts quite alot? ps; im also a smoker (its bad i know), i dont know if this is the cause cos ive been smoking since before lap band and started as soon as i got home from surgery and havent had an issue until now... thanks, dcharman
