The NEVER ENDING BURP- filled too tight?



Recommended Posts

I need some advice!

I had a fill today- my first fill in 3 months. I had not had much restriction at all.

My Dr put 2 mm in... I noticed after I left the hospital that just a bit of Water filled me up.

I got home around 6 and drank a juice glass full of milk (juice glass = very small). Ever since then, I've been having these annoying air-bubble (mini burps) like CRAZY, every few seconds. Every time I drink a little Water, I burp more. I tried smoking a cigarette... poof... major burp attack.

My burps have been going on for the past five hours, with a burp every few seconds. I don't have any pain or discomfort- aside from the fact that this constant burping is annoying.

Is this a sign that I need to be unfilled a little?

So you finally burped?! Don't you have a hard time burping? Ahhh, a good burp, nothing better! sounds like restriction to me. When I get full or a little stuck, I always feel better letting off a bit of a burp. It's a soft stop signal for me.

I would be very careful and move very slowly...stay on liquids and see how you do. If you are a sweller, you may need another day or two before moving to mushies. Stay mushy until you are more comfortable there. Then move to food.

If you have pain or discomfort, or are unable to keep small sips down (think post-surgery) then call your doc. Otherwise, as long as you stay on liquids you can make it through the weekend, I'll bet. Slow down. Too much in the funnel your band creates can be difficult going down. Welcome to restriction! Take it easy.

I wish I could get a good burp, lol. These are annoying little air bubbles in my throat. I don't know what else to call them, except mini burps. If I gag myself to burp, they stop for a few minutes, but come back.

It just doesn't seem right that I'm having these miniburps literally every few seconds for 5 (going on 6) hours straight. =P

I had the same thing and I was too tight. I let it go for three weeks and in that time I puked everything I tried to eat and even liquids did not go down so great.

I had 1cc of my 2.6cc fill removed and now I have no restriction and have gained back 5 lbs!! Waiting to go back and have some put back!

I would wait a few days but if it is not better call your doc.

When I get a good fill, I usually experience that for a few days until it 'settles in'. That said, its always such a fine line between good restriction and overfilled, that for me, its hard to tell the difference unless I get reflux (for me that's a sure sign I'm too tight). Last time I was overfilled, a mere 0.1ml taken out was enough to have me comforable again.

Hope you're feeling better soon :)

Thanks!

It finally got unbearable because the burping led into pain, then into vomiting, so my mom paged the doctor and he met us up there. I had to get 1.5ccs taken out to feel better. He said that some people are just really sensitive... and like you said Parvathi, I guess there's a fine line for me.

At least I feel better now! =)

Be careful, being filled too tight and having constant burping can lead to gastritis..I know. I have it!

I burp little burps all day long. I'm problably going to be unfilled on Monday due to my gastritis.

Do a search on gastritis on yahoo..

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
