Just got banded the 10th, having trouble drinking

Seems like every time I drink , I want to burp. Which then causes me to want to spit it up. I'm thinking its just the gas trying to come out and my body adjusting.

Anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

Your stomach is probably quite swollen since you just had surgery a couple days ago. I had a hard time the first few days...in fact the first 8 days it was very hard for me to get anything down. I worked at sipping all day long to try to get the fluids in. Then, almost like magic, the swelling was gone and I felt like I could eat anything. Hang in there, it does get better.

Thanks nu2ywg

I'm wondering if your surgeon put fluid in your band at the time of surgery. Some do and some don't. When I read about people having trouble swallowing liquid post op, that's usually the cause. Ask your surgeon. If there is fluid in your band then havin it removed might help.

Best wishes.
