anybody else have belching. am on day 6. It is almost constant with me. Any suggestions or ideas? just wondering if just me. thanks.

I burp a lot when I eat or drink a protien shake. The tighter I am, the more I burp.

I could only hope for a burp....I am 4 days post op and can not burp to save my life i have so much gas and no way to get rid of it :thumbup:

thanks. it must just be the last of the gas trying to work out.

I don't know if this is normal or not, but my surgery was almost 4 months ago, and I burp way more than I ever did before surgery, and if I bend over, I will burp for sure! I had terrible gas for about 2 weeks after surgery.

The only thing I can suggest is to drink more slowly, though sometimes belching is unavoidable. I think it is just the band's way of working things down through the stoma, especially when it is tight.

LOL, I'm 16 weeks out since pre-op diet and I burp all the time now! I hardly ever did before, like, hardly ever - but now it's all the time! LOL, kinda gross.

Yeah, I'm 4 months post- surgery and belch all the time now.

Maybe we can all get into competitive burping!!!!

I am 6 weeks post op and still burb religiously after EVERY meal for at least 30 minutes. I have heard it's common?

I burp after every meal too....about 5 or 6 times. I think it's your body's way of ridding the excess air that we take in when eating. I'd rather it come out than stay in and make me bloated.

I now burp when I am talking a lot. It is embarrasing. I think my stomach is so small now that the air gets trapped I get full of air as I talk.

I also burb all the time. I have been banded since 3/29 (yesterday was the 4 month anniversary). I had asked my doctor and he told me "welcome to lapband" it just likes to say hello.

Now among my friends, if I happen to burb loudly (which sometimes it is just small quiet ones), I tell them that the band says hello.:cursing:

I am 12 hours after surgery and I am burping and tooting up a storm:tt2:

Luckley my wife is sooooo understanding! So far this has been a very easy time. Been outside for a 10 minute walk and drinking/sipping plenty of Water.

Hang in there mondaylady:thumbup:
