burping and hiccups

I have been with my husband for 17 years (married for 4) and have never burped in front of him that he has noticed (yes, I can do it quitely so he doesn't know). But now...oh my goodness, these things develop inside of me and I don't know where they come from. Is this normal for us bandsters? I try to control them and they just rumble for 2 minutes...it's funny. My husband actually laughed at me the other day because I was trying to control it and keep it quite and he still heard me....he said he didn't know I could make sounds like that. I also get hiccups all the time....I do not drink from a straw. Maybe because I have no restriction and I'm able to still drink (not sip) is my problem?

I notice right before I get full I get the hiccups. Burping is much different now. Its funny you controlled it for so long, now be free.

Oh and I do have restriction.

It turns out to be perfectly normal for me. The hiccups I think in my case are due to having a hiatal hernia repaired (or at least that is my theory). The burps, well even though you don't have restriction, the band has narrowed a passage way, so it takes longer for the burp to come up, and yeah, can be noisey. Part of it can be due to drinking liquids, and then they suddenly drop to the lower stomach, displacing air. I wouldn't worry about it. I have been banded over 4 months, have had three fills and have never sipped my Water.< /p>

I asked one of the PAs at the aftercare center where I get my fills and she said it was because I was eating too fast. I know that I wasn't, so I just brushed her off as she told me some other things I didn't appreciate. I like the displacing of air explanation the above poster mentioned. This sounds about right because I burp the most when I'm drinking. Burping is definately normal and so is farting (hope you haven't had any trouble with that like I have).

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
