Got banded 8/9/12 and today I've been burping a lot. It almost feels like indigestion and is a ill painful. Is this normal??

Yep, you still have gas trying to get out and you are still swollen. It took me about a week to feel normal aside from being able to eat. However, if you are having productive burps you may want to call your doctor, indigestion can cause problems. I was told to have malox on hand for indigestion to keep it from getting bad. The indigestion can cause your stomach to get irritated and prolonged indigestion can cause your band to slip.

I still get burps from eating too fast. This is something that I have to learn. I know when I eat right, eat slowly and chew chew chew that I will not burp as much at all. If it is a problem, talk to your doctor

Thanks guys... I'm going to call the doctor today. :-/
