Burping?

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 :o

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.

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 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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
