I burp too much**is that normal**

[vintagehound 1]

I was never a burper before surgery, now (9weeks after surgery) I burp every time I eat. I think it is like drinking from a water bottle and you have to let the air in for the Water to come out. Because there is a non expandable hole now, the air has to come up for the food to go down. That is what it seems like on the fluoroscope, the liquid lifts up, then slides through.....just my theory.

I think its funny that i was burping up a storm when i saw this thread to post on .. but then again, i burp for about an hr after eating anything... burping good, hiccuping bad... hiccups followed by food coming up very quickly and me running to the closest bathroom.

I feel the need to burp also. Sometimes I will move just right and its like this long air bubble not a -burp but a ------urp. It's hard to explain. it is like someone put a pipe in and a steady release is let out....

I know exactly what you mean. Since I got banded I have done that a few times. It is actually really releaving. I welcome any and all burp's....as long as there all air :nervous

I also have been hiccuping lately too. I'm starting to learn the burning belch means 'OOPS' I've eaten a wee bit too much. I also learned that if I spit out my saliva when I'm belching, it helps me stop sooner.:hungry:

If I nibble rather than bite-and-chew something then I don't seem to get the burps. But I fart all the time. Reach for the TV remote, oops there one goes. Bend over - try not to stand down-wind. Stretch, yawn, smile... you name it and I fart. I wonder if it's because I've had my gall bladder removed?

This would be an interesting study. Amount of burping correlated with PB's. HMMM excellent question.

I burp regularly. Not excessively or loudly, but comfortably and boy what a relief it is sometimes.

When I was first banded, my surgeon kept telling me (if I had problems) that I'd probably swallowed too much air and "since I couldn't burp anymore" it was stuck in there causing me pain. When I told him that I burp all the time he was flabberghasted.

Magic, maybe you swallow a lot of air when you eat. We all have our own "style" so to speak of chewing and swallowing. Maybe your own personal process combined with your own personal anatomy results in taking some air down with it. Just a thought.

I will have a soft burp once in a while. I think it's usually cause I gulped too much at one. Same thing with hiccups. I get them now and again. They are real quiet and I know I've had enough to eat.
