And I still cant burp! Is this normal? Is it because Im swollen?

My sister is 3 yrs post op & still can't. Me on the other hand, 10 month post op & never could, can now like a drunken sailor!!

I really need to burp

You really shouldn't have carbonated drinks, but maybe a few sips of one could help with the burping need. Only a few tiny sips....no more than that or it will hurt like hell!!! ?????????

You may be eating or drinking too much too fast. That's when I feel I need to burp and can't cause there is no air there!

you are a week out so your body is all confused.... please dont drink the carbonation... it can do damage to your band. Have you tried maloxx or gasx? They both come in liquid? Also as CHEZNOEL said...you may be drinking too much too fast... remember during this time to just sip sip sip.

You will feel better soon

I couldnt burp either until this week. I had my surgery on the 19th of October.

Time, on which day post op?

it was around day 9. I just remember I was watching tv and I burped. I kind of caught me by surprise. Mostly gas has been coming out the other end..lol
