I just had my lapband put in on Wednesday morning and its now Friday evening. All day today while drinking my liquids I keep burping. My husband has got me worried now cause he says my band could have slipped. Is this really a big risk with just liquids? I'm looking for some peace of mind....

That's one of the best things you can do ! It means your band is clear... Plus newly banded you are getting rid of some gas.

Find yourself where you can't burp, and you will see how uncomfortable you will feel...

Tell your Husband to Relax,,, Your Fine !

Same day surgery as you, and I have been burping, burping and passing gas. Lots of it.

thanks for replying everyone! You made me feel better!! My doc said that I could start on creamy soups on Sunday but frankly I;m afraid to do that. How long did guys do clear liquids before moving onto like creamy soups?

a weak.

I was able to start on cream soups yesterday, but only tried some tonight. Could only get down around 3 ounces and I was sated. yay!

Girl count your blessings it took me almost two weeks to actually burp!!!

I am almost 3 months out and I definitely burp more than I used to...I was allowed to start creamy soups a week after surgery and long as they were strained.

Tell your husband to chill I know when I was first banded it was my biggest fear but trust me when I tell you if your band slips you will know it! And you won't be able to keep down any fluids not even water! Make sure you aren't drinking from a straw and I always to make sure I breath out right before I take a sip. You would never realize how much extra air you take in while you are drinking unless you start being conscious of it. Good luck and don't worry it's all normal!

I was banded in June, and the burping doesn't really stop. I still burp a lot more than I used to. In fact, I used to hardly ever ever burp, and I do it several times a day now. It's just a part of the band, not a sign it's slipped, so you're just fine my dear!

I burp constantly. I asked my doctor about it and he said "welcome to life with a band!". It's reaaaaally common. It feels good to burp... But sometimes I make myself burp so much that I get nauseated haha... Try not to do that :-) ps. This is a née "talent" of mine as well. Before banded I rarely burped... And I certainly couldn't make myself burp.

hello i did clear for about a week then cremy soups i was happy to get to the creamy lol.. you will do fine just take it slow with each sip of soup and just see how you feel. its time for creamy girl you can do this .

Ummm, you're not suppose to have creamy soup day 1???

Seriously?

This is day 3 only creamy soup and V Water. Wow I read in my literature it was ok on day one. Now granted I was fresh piston op. Maybe I read it wrong. Anesthesia is a hell of a drug.
