Ok... I am wondering about burping. Anyone got any info on it?

I seem to be doing a far bit of it and although I know it is a good way to get rid of gas it is at times been painful, mostly in the left shoulder.

I am curious if this is a passing thing that happens in the beginning. I am sure the pain will go away, but will the burping? lol

La la la la la - welcome to the musical world of the Band! I burp so often I am starting to get used to it! I asked around at the Bash and sure enough...lots of constant burpers.

yep... burping all the time... and unfortunately it comes out the other end quite a bit too.... its all worth it in the end i think lol

Hello LeslieLee. I find myself burping as well. It was worse in the beginning, today only one:clap2:. And you are right it hurts like a bitch. Hopefully they will become rarer for you as well. Do you have any problems hiccuping? For me it hurts worse than burping.

Oh My Gosh, I Thought It Was Just Me...lol How Weird Is That....

We Must Start A Courus

"HURLCHUPS" Anyone?

They're not a hiccup, a belch, or a burp. Kind of a combination of all 3. I am 5 days post-op today and darned if I don't get these on a daily basis. Sometimes uncomfortable, always a nuisance. Can't do anything to stop them, so I may as well give them a name!

No regrets on getting lap banded though. A bad day hurlchupping beats a good day gorging.

Smile today - someone will wonder what you're up to...

Hi: I think burping, hiccupping are a result from swallowing air. When we chew we swallow a lot of air. As for the other end, I think that is a result from greens such as salads (ask any cow lol) that causes gas. More protein usually settles that down. Doddie

Would Gas-X help or I am just destined to face this problem when I get my band next month? What we do to look good and be happy!!!

lol I am so glad to know I am not alone!!

acapella (spelling??) burping.... now there is a thought! lol

I decided to ponder this thing we do called burping... I thought back to the days of feeding my babies and I remembered a bottle which is I believe still popular, the platex nurser... well in their advertisement they say that babies get less air and so do not suffer with gas and the pain it can bring.... well I thought to myself how can I get less air if I am drinking (which is all I am doing at this point).... here is what I came up with

I tried to really concentrate as I drank and I realized that I was breathing all wrong which each swallow...so I tried to make sure that just before I did swallow I exhaled and did not inhale until after I was done....

TA DA!!!

It worked!! I have had very little burping today and I am hoping that maybe I have really stumbled on an answer for this.

Now I need others to research my theory!! lol

breath out

swallow

breath in

lol an easy little exercise and if it works it is another victory NSV.

as an added bonus it helps to slow down the drinking/eating

very interesting, I will try this today......

Me too. Great idea. Doddie

:omg:I have never burped so much since I got my band. Sometimes with warning, and sometimes not.

It does matter how fast you eat, and drink.

Debbie

Let me know how it works for you both Donna D and Doddie. It is still working for me today very few.

Will do. I think it is working now. I have had no burping since I started. It also has slowed my eating and I have no not "puking". Thanks for the wonderful suggestion. I knew I was swallowing air but had no solution as to how not to. Doddie

Right on Doddie!! Glad it is working for you so far!! Hopes it continues!!

I have had to make a note for myself and stick it on the computer, on my car dashboard etc to help me remember how it works

Breath out

Swallow

Breath in

and repeat..............

I have allocated the portion of time required to follow this routine to my daily workout as it requires concentration. I have tried it and I will report that after an initial very small burp upon completion of my guzzling of Water that's IT, no prolonged symphony anymore. Miss LL you may be on to something here. How does it work for eating. I still have orchestra after a meal.
