Im not drinking from a straw, im trying to take sips, im trying to eat slow, i dont know what else to do... i burp so much that i start dry heaving... its actually starting to bother my family, and i tell them i cant help it.. everyone that i have spoke to they told me they stopped burping after week 1 or 2... does anyone have any suggestions for me.. i'll try ANYTHINGGGG!!!!! i had an emotinal breakdown last night because im doing everything im supposed to, and they just wont stop

I still burp occasionally and they are some manly burps but nothing like what you're talking about. I would definitely put a call in to your surgeon and see if he or she has any advice. Hope everything turns out ok.

I called him today, and spoke to the nurse.. said its not normal to be burping the way i am esp 3 weeks out... they said they've never heard anyone just having dry burps for no reason.. They asked me a bunch of questions to as if maybe my band was too tight because i know he did put a little saline it it, but my food is going down so its def not tight, but if i wanted i could take some of it out, but im afraid to get it taken out because i really want to give the band a try... plus i have strep throat as of monday so im thinking the medications im on for that is just making it worse then it was because before monday i thought i was finally feeling like my old self again... soo ill give it til monday and see what happens... i just want to feel normal again!

go to the doctor or hospital. Here in Canada it is free for hospital and doctor so I am saying it from that perspective. I would be at the doctor like tomorrow right in the morning - i don't know why you didn't go weeks ago: I would have a nervous breakdown already. do you have emergency walk in clinics open 24 hours that you can go to?

I dont think we have emergency clinics, but i could goto the emergency room where i had the surgery done, however.. im not in pain... its just constant gas... and now its both ends... its just starting to effect me i feel mentally and emotionally... i had none of these problems before march 24th!!! im just waiting for the doctors office to call me back.. maybe my stomach is just that sensitive to the band and i didnt need any saline in the band to begin with, and just need an unfill... but im gonna give it til monday and if its not any better im definitely going into see him...

Sorry to tell you, the burping never really goes away... I mean it's not painful or annoying anymore, but i can still burp on command, and it's worse if I eat too much.

How are you doing with the burping? Are you doing any better?

Are you still drinking protein drinks and if so do you mix them in a blender?
