I was banded on 12/12 and I burp SO much! It doesn't feel like reflux and is so relieving every time I do. I notice it happens a lot after I eat also which I'm only on full liquids.

I do have a little reflux and I take Prilosec every day but like I said, this doesn't feel like anything is coming back up, it just feels relieving...

Is burping like this hurting my band? Did anyone else have this?

I burp like it is my job, full belly, empty belly, liquids, food, chicken, meatballs - burping loud and proud. 3 months out. Since the day I started my preop liquids I have not taken 1 antacid, zero heartburn............so if I have to burp, so be it, would rather that then heartburn. I don't think it is hurting anything except my ladylike reputation

Thanks! Glad to know someone else was burping all the time too!

ur doing just fine just getting rid of all the air from surgery , however I agree with wildrose I still haven't stopped it's become my job also at any time but I don't have the acid reflux or heartburn like I had before surgery cause the surgeon did my hiatial hernia also so I just have the air all the time either way mostly on the front end tho sometimes the back end so I let people not to get to close when that happens lol, so it's normal also just sip slowly, good luck.

Whew... am I ever so proud to read its not just me! I am seriously in the #notsoladylike boat with y'all! Loud and proud! My 85 year old aunt explained it like this; top or bottom, there's always more room on the outside! Gotta love her! Congrats everyone!

I had my surgery in September and I burped and passed gas forever. I just realized that the last few weeks I haven't been doing it. So thankfully it got better. Good luck.

I was banded oct 3 2012 and i burp constantly i thought i war the only one. Thank god im not alone

I also had the band on 12/12 and I'm burping some but still in a whole lot of pain and very very swollen!!! I was told most people feel better and can go back to work in 3 to 4 days but it has been five days now and my top of stomach is so swollen and I have pain in my left side and my back!! Bad!!!!! I had a severe stomach surgery last year to remove some rumors I was told I had some scar tissue was thinking maybe that's why I hurt so bad... Had anyone else had this problem?

I was banded 11/16 and hurt for almost 3 weeks. They fixed a hernia I didn't know about, and have had several other surgeries also. Lots of scar tissue in there so it takes a bit longer. As I was told, sip sip sip and walk walk walk and lots of gas-x strips. Don't be too hard on yourself. You can do this!

This is great to know from all you fellow burpers! Lol I thought I was having some issue with my stomach!

Thank for the great advice you guys! I really like this site
