Just had Lap Band 3 days ago

Should I be feeling like I want to burp but can not and then it feels like something is stuck in my chest. It is a very uncomfortable feeling.

    yes that is normal for right now... I have never been a gassy person or really ever belched... but I remember feeling like if I could it would be the best thing EVER!! keep walking around --- it helps get the gas out .... eventually when you start to be able to burp or excuse my french... pass gas... you will feel so relieved!

    You are doing fine... like I said-- keep walking!!! stay moving!! and also... try the gas-x strips... I lived on those and they helped..

    I felt the same way too and lived on gas X strips as well. Those things are awesome!! It gets better after a few days (within a week for me)

    Good luck

    Same here and I am 9 days post-op.

    I have a bad habit of swallowing air to make myself belch and it just ain't working. I am farting up a storm though. :blushing:

    Good luck!
