I'm only a month post bypass by all my funky burping/belching/gurgling/sliming van crap is 100% gone.

That sounds awesome. I can't wait for it to be gone because it is so embarrassing when I eat lunch atty my desk and my supervisor comes to ask me a question about work. He had commentedon the gurgling noises several times. I'm so tired of it and hoping it goes away with the bypass.

I wanted to ask everyone to see if yall have had this problem. I have never been able to burp in my life. Before the lap band I maybe burped teen times ever. While having the lap band' date=' after like two bites of food I feel a strong pressure in my chest then my mouth waters and I have to run to the bathroom and put my finger down my throat and burp. After burping a few times (via finger) I can eat a few more bits before it happens again. I hate running to the restroom all the time especially at restaurants worried if I am close enough to the bathroom. Did anyone have this problem with the band? Did it go away with the bypass?[/quote']

Hey I was never a belcher b4 my lapband, and then it was a regular part or my day , like breathing!! I walked around burping saying , "Pardon Me", for 4 yrs, and if I tried to stop it or hold it , I was in real trouble, would have to go vomit every time!! I had band out 6 months ago and belching gone, have GBP 4/24...hoping I don't deal with any of that again !!

Yeah. They took my Fluid out of the band Friday and the burping issue is gone. Now I just don't burp at all. I just hope I don't have the issue again after the bypass. I guess if I do I just hope it's worth it this time around.

I had revision from the horrible lapband to bypass in september... It was the best decision ever. I had the LB eight years' date=' never lost more than 30 pounds, i was always having problems and the last six months it was like i was drowning each night. Now i feel just a normal person feels... Finally i know what it feels like to be full i never had that with the LB ... Only that horrible stuck feeling)

I so enjoying sitting down and eating even a small meal with my family inside if standing up and hitting my port hoping it would let some food ( other than icecream!) go down .- my port was. Right between my boobs so i also felt that i looked like trazan!

Good luck with the new better life without that band!

By the way im six months out and down 93 pounds... Slightly addicted to sport and just signing up for a triathlon in june!![/quote']

Why in the world was your port put between your

Boobs? I thought it was always placed in the tummy area?

My experience with the band was miserable. Everything felt better the day I woke up after having it out and converting to RNY.

RNY has its own side effects,like dumping, but for me the RNY side effects seem much easier to manage. I have only dumped twice and had to lie down both times. It kind of pissed me off because both times it was with this "safe for diabetics" frozen yogurt that I did fine with the first few weeks post op. Now that I am sure of what caused it, I'll never try to eat it again.

I will take the dumping over the getting stuck and throwing up all the time and I will certainly take the dumping over the endless, very destructive, heartburn the band caused.

      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!!
