I was banded last Monday 11/13 and it's amazing what a difference a week makes. I feel really great this week. One thing is though, I'm always burping! Small little ones - continuously. Why is this??? Will this continue????

I was banded 11/15 so we are just a couple of days apart. I burped all day at first everytime I ate or drank anything. Drinking slower helps it a lot. I feel rotten when I can not burp I am glad to burp it hurts if I can't.

When I got home I was burping all the time and asked my hubby, did I burp before this and he said "no, I can not ever recall you burping".

So that was a very big change for me.

I think it is cause the whole for your stomache is smaller and it traps more air when you swallow drinks or food.

That burping thing get's a little less over time - but you will find that without so much food in your system your stomache will growl a lot.

I just deal with the burping. It's the only real "side effect" that I have other than the stomache growl.
