Sometimes your stoma acts as a one way valve so if you swallow air it won't come back up. The real trick is to learn not to swallow air.

It gets better with time, you have a lot of new sensations and feelings that you will be experiencing. You'll learn to burp when the air is in your pouch vs. your stomach. It just takes time.

I burp constantly, especially after I drink water. After every sip of water, I burp. Someone that has been banded for years told me that's a sign of good restriction. It's kind of annoying but I am used to it now. I am not sure if I am swallowing air every time I take a drink or eat. If I feel like I need to burp and I don't, I give myself a little pat right between my breasts and I burp.

I have been banded for 6 days and have the same problem....someone told me it is because I am drinking too fast....for you it may be either eating or drinking I am only on liquids right now....I did notice that when I slow down it is better.

I burp constantly too. I don't feel like I'm restricted enough yet, so not sure about that theory.. but I burp after every drink of anything.. and within 20 minutes of eating, I'm burping quite a bit. My family's getting use to it, I don't hold back.. I just let them rip! I don't think about it anymore really, and I'll be in public and let out a huge burp and then it hits me.. hehe.

I cannot burp, or should I say belch like before being banded. I am 6 months out tomorrow. I do, however, have dozens of tiny tiny burps a day, often during eating. It's like the food is shifting in the band, and at times it aids in food passing thru. My dr says this is air getting trapped below. A curiosity, to be sure, but common place now. But definately no more big burps!
