I also had a hiatal hernia repaired which is close to the band so that could be the cause of my pain as well.

I was banded on the 12th and experienced the same painful burping. I tried Gas X but it didn't relieve it. It started getting better after a week but today (11th day post op) is actually the first day I haven't had felt the pain - just a twinge of it. It does get better.

I live in DFW and was banded last Tues. (12th) so I totally understand your anxiety.
