  2. Thanks for the replies. Spoke to the clinic nurse today as I am still suffering and she reconds it's trapped wind, which I do agree with. I feel like I desperately need to belch, but can't seem to do it? She advice wind tablets, which I have took, but still not feeling 100%. Any suggests how to get a good belch up? Should I drink something fizzy? (Kinda scared to? )

  4. Thanks for your reply, yeah I am currently drinking hot tea hoping that pushes it down. I haven't been sick, feel like I'd like to be but I'd be scared incase my band slipped! (I'm such a newbie at this)
  5. Hi, can I get some advise please. I got my first fill a week ago tomorrow,I had 1.5 in at surgery and got 3 added. But tonight after having dinner I feel awful. Burning chest pain and sore shoulders. I feel like I need a massive burp. Have I just eaten to quickly, or do you think I have so,etching stuck. Will my pouch stretch because of this? I'm in agony! How can I resolve it? I've been banned since 22/9/13. Thanks
  6. Thanks for the comment! But how can you say it's not about weight loss! I got banded for weight loss! That's the point. I do get you have to change the way you live to loose weight and keep it off. But it's all about the weight loss for me anyway.
  7. Hi, I have been banded for 8 days now and lost 5Lb, I am on the liquid diet and think I am taking in around 400-500 cals a day. I'm gutted I have only lost 5lb! I'm more worried that when I move into solids my weight loss stops! How much did you all loose? I expected to have a boosted loss the first 2 weeks. In total I have 4 stone to loose. Thanks
