Hey all. I am now 8 days post op and I'm getting extremely annoyed about the fact that I can't burp! Met with my doctor for my post-op yesterday and he explained I may never be able to again. EVER? SERIOUSLY?! I am in need of some serious input people!

I thought the same thing as you, but after the healing is over you will burp...and be relieved every time you do! :)

Sometimes you need to move the gas out the other side. Not trying to be gross but put your head low while on your knees and have your backside up high.

I think everybody has trouble burping right after the surgery. But eventually everything settles down and you will burp. It will be a proud moment!

Does that work??? I feel like I need to relieve some pressure. I was banded today and my belly is tight.

Nope. I can't burp. I didn't burp for over 3 years :). For some bandsters, burping is something we just can't do. One of the reasons I suspected I was leaking in fact was because I not only lost restriction but suddenly could burp again. I have not burped since being rebanded 2 months ago.

Honestly, your body adapts and initially it all comes out the other end (sorry TMI) but that settles eventually too. My boyfriend thought I was the most delicate of princesses because I didn't ever burp when we started dating, now he knows I just couldn't!!

I really don't miss it. :)

Same here - walking allowed me to burp. I've been counting them and announcing them to my nurses :)

I think if I burp I will feel better. I've been walking inside my house. I can't go outside because of the humidity. Humidity and my asthma are not buddies.

You'll burp. Trust me.

This!

Seriously. Give it time. I remember getting really sick about a month after surgery and ended up throwing up---throwing up the biggest burpy-retch you ever heard!!! It was AMAZING!! I still remember that!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
