I can't burp,I can feel the bubble there but it won't come out! And when it does its like a hiccup burp that hurts. Any ideas?

I was having similar problem I stopped drinking thru a straw and it's gotten better. Could that be something to look into? Hope this helps sweetie! Let me know

Straws are outlawed in my world. The doc harped on that one real hard. It let's to much air in.

I tend to drink & eat to quickly, so I have that air bubble thing often. I put my hands in the air and bend backwards. That seems to strech things out and move the bubble. Good luck.

I was also told no straw as well. I had that happen to me today when I switched to pureed food. I think I ate too fast. It eventually went away.

Welcome to your new way of burping! I think it's quite common that burping is now replaced with reflex hiccups caused by the phrenic nerve and the diaphragm. I know when I get my first hiccup that I'm about 2 bites away from being full. For me, the hiccups can come out of nowhere and can be loud. I just explain to people close to me that it's my new way of burping, and I can't control it.

Think of the anatomy of a burp... rumbling air forced from the bottom of the stomach up the esophagus to make the noise. There's now a stopgap between the stomach and your esophagus, so the "flow" has been interrupted. I just be mindful about eating slowly and sip when I drink - not gulp.

I'm having the opposite problem, I keep burping!

GOD I WISH I COULD BURP!!

I don't burp on my own anymore- I feel them come up and get stuck at the band and then I have to stretch out my throat and esophagus and push them out. Doesn't sound good does it

I don't burp as often as I did when I first got the band, but what I lack in quantity I make up in VOLUME! I do sometimes get that feeling that I have to burp, but can't...so annoying!
