Hi everyone! I'm finally BANDED!! woo hoo! very excited. hasn't been the easiest of days, but nothing worth doing/having is easy!

Got a question for all of you "seasoned" bandsters... Are you burping? I was under the impression we wouldn't be able to burp much after banding... yet I find I am burping all the time? Especially when i've taken in some fluids... I burp. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!:devil_smile:

I couldn't stop burping in the hospital after my surgery and they said that is normal. I'm 7 months out and I burp a whole lot now I'm constantly having to apologize to my coworkers. Completely normal.

The more restriction I have the more I burp. I just tell everyone, "sorry, it's a medical condition!" :devil_smile:

I have heard that it is common. but since I have been banded on may 25, I have not burped once. I bfeel like I have to, but they just dont come up. Is that bad? :thumbup:

i seem to burp more also and my boys (15 and 12) tell me 'good one mom' lol. you gotta love kids lol. it's normal to burp.

while i was in hospital i burped all the way down and up the hall,,,one nurse reminded me that flatulance was very good too.. not to much of that, gas gets rid of the extra air we got during surgery and the extra air we now breathe
