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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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... :(
