Burping

[1shauna1 129]

I do burp, usually with food. I think it's actually the stomach contracting working the food through. I also get the hiccups violently sometimes now, which I welcome because it's usually when I am/have been stuck and it actually helps with the contractions to work the food through. Yes, I know it's not so pleasant!! I actually burped a lot before the surgery, but that was more due to excess acid and I had an ulcer which they fixed in surgery.

I have only burped once in the five days since the surgery and a little one lol. Seems unusual.

I do some deep burping, not every day not every meal not every glass of Water but when I purb- I BURP for real. I think it s better to burp than keep the gas inside. I do wonder the meachnics of it though now that we have a little and a big stomach?

OMG, since surgery (2.5 weeks ago) I sound like a drunken frat boy with the burping! I rarely ever burped before and found it horribly embarrassing when I did. Now, I burp loudly several times a day and just wince before getting on with life. If that's the worst side effect of the band, I'll deal!
