I had lap band surgery on Feb 10.2010 and recently (after my last fill) I have started burping...alot sometimes barfing as well. Is this common or do I have a problem?

It sounds like you might be too tight. Can you you eat solid protein? Drink water?

I can drink water just fine but no too fast. I can't eat too much without a lot of burping and sometimes throwing up.

I haven't even been filled yet and if I eat to much I do alot of burping. I do better if I make sure to realy chew my food good and eat small portions.

My doctor always tells me to take it slow for the first day or two. Eat creamy soups and mushy foods because when the band it adjusted the stomach swells a little from irritation and it might make food hard to pass through. You might noticed it is extremely tight when you wakeup but around dinner time it is a whole lot more comfortable. Sometimes when I wakeup mine feels so tight that my stomach hurts until I drink some fluids or eat some oatmeal or something mushy. I have the hiccups a lot also and most cases I get them when I didn't even eat anything. Give it a day or so and if it's still occurring you might have to have a small unfill. Sometimes it's so minimal like .01 or .02. That's like a couple drops but your stomach will be able to tell the difference when you eat
