I've heard some folks say they don't burp at all, so i'm delighted to be among the burpers!! It sure does hurt, though!! I'm only a week postop, and the pain of burping isn't getting any better. I'm wondering, if down the road, after fills and restriction... will it still hurt to burp? Thanks!!!

I think it does get better. I 'm two weeks post op now and the burps are definitely better - but the first week was rough...they hurt SO badly. So, give it a little time, and you should start to feel better soon.

I'm a little over 3 weeks post op now, and the pain is gone for me. Thank God for that...since I seem to burp ALL THE TIME!

i'm 2 years post-op and i burp just fine : )

:mellow:12 days post-op and burping still hurts and eating too quickly realllllly hurts

I am now 3 weeks post op and feeling much better. I'm sure the pain will ease soon.

OMG, I didn't know the burps would be so painful. I'm 4 days post-op and the burps hurt like heck! Can wait for that to improve.

Aaaah! SO good to know. I'm one week post and the burps/random hiccups are evil!

My surgeon keeps asking if I'm farting like a Trojan yet... but I think I've gotten outta that one. Whew!

I had the same problem. My doctor advised me to take Ibuprofen to reduce the swelling. It is not something you want to make a habit of because Ibuprofen is corrosive. And, I would definitely talk to your doctor before trying it. But, it really helped with the progress of my healing as well. Good luck to you.:smile2:

When I feel a burp I ease it out just to make sure it doesn't hurt too bad. I am three weeks post-op. I pass alot of gas too regardless of what I eat. I find it hard to believe it is still me finding ways to let out the CO2 from the op.

Either way, both remind me that I have my band and how happy I am that it is there.

I was banded about 2 weeks ago and I am burping ALOT too! LOL The worst pain was the week of the surgery. Now, its not too bad. The pain is easing up as time goes.

Its fine to burp when I am at home and I can just let it out but when I am at work, man, that is uncomfortable. Luckily, I work with alot of great people so when one just came out they laughed and asked if I felt better. :redface: which I sure did!

Hum, I never had that problem.
