Had my surgery May 6th. Since then I have not been able to burp like I could before. Well.....today I have a burp lodged and I can't get it out and it is KILLING ME!! Any suggestions?

I've felt the urge to burp quite a few times and cant seem to get anything out? I'm interested to see what someone has to say, since i was banded 2 days after you. A few times i have small little "bubble burps", but nothing like i've felt i needed to.

I laugh because I can relate!

I remember I was not able to burp after my surgery for some time.

Not because I couldn't, but rather, I never had the need.

But now, I have no problem doing so. However, I cannot let out a

big belch like I once could. Burping can be a good friend in times when you get stuck. It helps to move things around in your pouch. At least that is my experience.

So, I do not think it is unusual to not burp at this point. BUT, you have a burp stuck? I'd suggest walking - it gets things moving. Or try stretching.

Good luck! :-)

just wait until the farts start..... (notice I didn't say STOP, either!) You will be burping and farting in no time.
