So.... Does anyone feel like they are burping like crazy all the time? I hardly ever burped pre-surgery, but im a month out and cant seem to stop! It gets very embarrasing when i'm at work!

yes! I burp a lot now!! All day, everyday! I can control it, so only do it in private, but if I don't do it, I get all gassy and bloated inside, I'd rather get the burps out! I don't have indigestion though, it's just gass that doesn't seem to escape unless I force it to. I was banded in Feb of this year, so maybe it'll pass eventually, but I sort of think it's here to stay.

I can control it too. Can even do it on demand! LOL. I was out to dinner with my best friend one night and she accidentally let out a little one. She got sort of embarrassed and said oops. I asked her what the heck that was and she it was a burp. I said if your gonna do it, do it right and let out a monster just as she took a drink. It shot out her nose!! Was priceless!! Get used to it. They aren't going anywhere!!

Oh yes, burping is a regular occurrence for me now. No worries, you'll learn to tastefully disguise/hide your burps. My hubby is very impressed that I can belch better than the boys. hehe.

The key here is SLOW DOWN, I have spent over 2 years mastering this burping thing; got real good at it. Then I started eating slower and chewing better, it helps to keep the air out. I found also if I am out with friends eating I would chew a couple of papya enzyens and that would keep it at bay.

Good Gravy, I can burp like a champ. I'm sure I could out burp a man now LOL the only one beating me at burps is my dog bahaha

Ah banded life... wouldn't trade it for anything.

2 weeks post-op and I thought it was only ME!! Ahhhh, at least others share in my new On Command talent!

It's weird cuz the only way I can burp is if I hiccup before the burp. Ne one else have hiccups and noticed too that I sneeze a lot since surgery.
