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

cruz -- you're still taking in nutrition. It's just liquid. Liquids in, liquids out. Sudden bathroom cues are not uncommon on a liquid diet.

Haha this thread is hillllarious!!! I was always able to burp louder than my family, and most of my guy friends. But NOW!!! They are very quiet and very lonnnng. It alomost sounds like I'm growling lol. My mom will hear me and a few seconds later shes like "OMG are you STILL burping!?!?!?" lol its a marathon burp!

I was banded 10/15/09 and let me tell you , if there was Olympic Competition for farting , I would be on the gold medal podium.. I als belch - long and loud-- it is creepy, but hey halloween in coming up so this might work to my advantage.

My biggest problem, is "gringo bingo"-- I get a rumbling and make a beeline for the bathroom.. So far I have made it on time, but it quite scary.. I have had NO SOLIDS -so where is this coming from??

Before my surgery on June 7, 2010 I was told that band people usally do more burping and by-pass folks do the farting WELL....wrong answer, I am farting now and we are speaking alot. :thumbup: This is awful! No problem with burping.
