Lettuce is tough to digest....Burping is pretty normal... I don't know how to tell if the band slipped but I would speak with your dr if you are getting sick. I am not sure if you mean flu or cold sick or sick to your stomach.

Sounds like you are very tight. Lettuce is hard to digest because it is difficult to chew it fine enough not to have pieces slide through and get stuck. Burping is common but excessive burping and hiccuping can happen when you are tight. My question to you is this, can you eat what you are suppose to, 3-4 ozs of Protein and 1/4 or 1/2 cup veggies at lunch and dinner. If you can not eat a cup of food at each meal than you are to tight. If you think you will lose faster because you are eating less, yes you will lose weight but you risk the chance of losing valuable lean muscle mass if your body does not get adequate nutrition. Remember your heart is a muscle also.

Your WLS surgeon and their staff are always the best alternative when you are concerned if your band is working right, give them a call, nothing is worth risking your health or your band.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
