I was banded on 1/26 and am constantly burping - which I am okay with right now. Twice now I have had so much pressure in my stomach that it felt like I was going to vomit - I actually ran to the bathroom both times and heaved up huge amounts of air. :thumbup: Is this normal? I had my first one in the middle of the night and my second one just before bed. Is this normal? Should I worry about my band slipping? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi Michelle,

I was banded on 1/29 and am having the exact same problem as you. It happened twice where I dry heaved and it was all air coming out, as though my body wasn't telling me when I needed to burp. Really weird and very scary! I was so scared of the pressure on the band since it's so new. But today is day 3 and I haven't had the nausea problem as much today, and haven't had the problem happen yet today. Hopefully it is over and done with, and just part of the healing... but I feel your pain :confused:
