I farted like any normal person and burped like any normal person pre band But I have noticed since banding that I'm constantly gassy ..farting all the time. I know alot of you can relate but one other thing I have noticed and have paid close attention to is I do NOT burp anymore..I'm thinking that it could be why Im always so gassy with a rumbly tummy. The gas only escapes from one end (my butt) now not (two my mouth and butt). Do any of you have a hard time burping now that you are banded. I just do not burp! I have also noticed that if I go too long in between mealsand wait until my hunger is out of control I get horrible gas cramps..anyone else experiencing this? It makes for me eating alot less when I'm starving cuz the gas cramps are so uncomfortable. Isint this a great topic ..I feel like I can share anything with all of you

Now that I think about it, I find myself much more gassy after having protein shakes. Does this ring a bell (or a pook-pook) to anyone?

:cheeky Stop! Stop! My sides are hurting! I haven't laughed so hard in a looonnnggg time! I mean it! I'm snorting! I hate it when I do that! It's not at all dignified!!!

La_madam...plz plz stay away from fire plz ya all lol

Lauri, like this thread is dignified?

. I swear I see green clouds when I fart now. I went walking this morning and had a sustained fart for about a mile. LOL!!!!!! NOT a quiet one either. Thank goodness no one was behind me. IT would have been like a Cesna engine blast. LOL!!

JOhn swears he is gonna cork my butt hole. I said if you do that I will just blow up.

LMAOROFLPMP

(laughing my a** off, rolling on the floor laughing, peeing my pants)

My husband was checking the email-he asked, "was does this mean You subscribed to a thread entitled - Burping & farting? I thought you were getting information and support from that place?" LOL I love it!!!!

Hey Lisa! When I was in high school, the kid at my church were always having burbing contests. I never could get out anything more than a pathetic hic-up sound-even when REALLY burbing. Then, when I got pregnate with my first child, all those attempted and saved up burbs started coming! My Ex-husband used to tell me it's better to get it out now and save wear and tear on the other end! HEE HEE HEE!

"JOhn swears he is gonna cork my butt hole."

LMAO!! Doesn't he realize that's like loading a gun and he could be shot??

I'm right there with you girls... there's nothing like the rat tat tat of a machine gun in the halls of a hospital on a quiet night... it freaq'n echoes! <redface>

I have a theory about this... see... we ladies don't fart... we blow kisses. Unlike men, who we all know are fart whores... so proud of each blast, rating them, keeping score... we ladies save ours, we try very hard not to give them to strangers, we save them faithfully, only sharing them with those we love... see... that makes them a token of our affection... BOY has my family been feeling the love!! Post banding, I've been EXTREMELY affectionate!

Pam - You are too funny! I'll tell my hubby that next time, I am just blowing kisses!

ROFLMAO!

I'm dying here...LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

I can outbelch and outfart the best of em! Thank goodness I'm married to man that has a sense of humor and an unending respect for my newly found gas passage abilities! Just one more reason to exfoliate and lotion up my arse with chocolate scented lotions.

ommmm she said arse! MOoom Darcy's cussing again. Tell her to stop it!

I am fairly new banded 10/19 and I have definate changes in the gas department . I am much more gassy . If I do burp it is so long and deep --my kids almost died the first time I did it( laughing at me) It just kept going and going like when you see people recite the abc's while burping.----not very lady like at all but I can;t help it. I have had three -four episodes of this. I started to burp in church Sunday night and realized quickly I should not have because it was low and long... even with my mouth closed ..the guy and his wife next to me had to have heard because my son laughed OUTLOUD during the mass!!!!! Oh well as long AS IHAVE NO PAIN I can live with these new gas issues........ It is pretty funny to be sharing the kind of thing my son 's constanlty joke about and do!!!

I'm sitting here giggling. . . I'll have to read this thread out loud to my little nephew, who loves all body noises. My experience has been different from the majority who've written so far: I was a pretty decent farter pre-band, and a champion belcher, even among my mighty brothers, who are truly noise-makers of note. (This gift won me a part in a high-school play that required me to belch repeatedly, on cue, without the aid of a microphone. Meryl Streep, watch out.) Now I'm much less productive both fore and aft -- largely because, in the case of the belching, I don't drink anything carbonated, which used to bring on the Cessna noises Penni so aptly described. In the old days, after just one can of ginger ale I could do a halfway decent impression of a 747. Now I'm down to propeller level.

well, i'm now amazed at all the topic discussed by this group...heheheheh.... when i first had my band done.... the burping was unreal, but sinced my fill not anymore.... but,,,, i'll be sitting there and have little squeeks of air come up... very strange sounding. little bubble tracks....

I often have my friend's 5 year old at the house. She learned a new one from her stinky older brothers. Every time she farts, she says, "ADD THAT TO YOUR SALAD."

You guys are hilarous. My husband had surgery on 7/27 and every time he moved he farted. He kept telling me that "My turn would come".
