Hi everyone! Today i just started solids and when i ate lunch after about 10minutes of chewing my food well i kept burping...is that a bad thing? I burped like 4 times in a row. Is burping like a sign of feeling satisfied? I didnt finish my whole lunch but ate most of it. I hope its normal the burping. Tomorrow i have an appt to see my Dr. But i doubt he will fill me since tomorrow will only be my 2nd day on solids. Also did anyone ever get filled after 3weeks post op?!?? If anyone can give me your input i would really appreciate it. Thanks

hey Karen...I burp after a few minutes of eating. I don't have any issues with it..in fact, it reminds me that I'm almost done. I think some people call it a soft stop. All I know is that when I burp, I know I'm not hungry anymore and a few more bites and I'll be quite satisfied.

Hi Karen

I was banded in Oct and I now burp like its my job lol. When I eat if I pay attention for my soft stop (which I try to always but its hard to get used to) I do burp or sigh but any other time I burp all day now. I think this is an individual thing but a lot do burp. ~Colleen

Hi, Karen,

First of all, super congrats on getting banded! I have been banded for almost 2 years, and still burp- not always, but when i do, it is a very good thing! It has served me well as a "pre-stuck" warning! And believe me, it's not fun to be stuck! Secondly, you are so lucky to be filled after 3 weeks! I didn't get my first fill for 2 months. Best of luck to you- it is the best thing that I have ever done for myself!
