I'm 2 days post-op and am burping like crazy....I know we're expected to have gas. I just thought burping wasn't such a good thing.

Here's me...freaking out that maybe my band is messed up or something already lol

LOL its ok to burp. You need to get all that gas out of you. Heck welcome to bandland and be prepared to burp lots and lots of times. :biggrin1:

One of the incisions in your belly is for an instrument that maintains the gas pressure in your abdomen so the doc can see what he's doing in there. When they remove that instrument much of the gas escapes at that time but not all of it. You end up with gas pockets that you can even see on your barium swallow following the procedure.

Well, that gas has to go somewhere. It is absorbed by your GI system and it comes out one end or the other.

Thank your lucky stars it's coming out the end it is. :)

I am two months out and am constantly burping. I hear this from many people. I wouldn't worry. Just one of the things we need to get used to!

I'm 2 months out myself and I CONSTANTLY burp. I was never a big burper before and personally I hate when people do it around me but it seems inevitable. I think it's more the PBing you have to worry about when you're just getting started. I know my Dr. told me I wasn't allowed to get sick for 2 weeks after my surgery!

7 months out, and the BURP is my 'soft stop'. I burp multiple times in a row also, almost like a hiccup. And most times after I eat my 1/2 cup or so...I burp a little later on - almost like when the band empties me. hehehe

Burping is normal!

You should see me in public, I'm so use to burping without feeling it coming. When we went to a casino last weekend (me and my mom), we were at some slots, full of people around us, and I just let them go! I don't think about it.. And people look at me, and I go.. oh yeah. It's become so normal/natural to me, it's like taking a deep breath.. I forget you're not suppose to do that hehe.

And when me and my DH are intimate, if I had just drank a lot of Water (which I do around bed time..).. there's been times, where I have a 'band burp'.. it burps deep inside, it doesn't come up, but I can't control it whatsoever. It sounds like I just let out a huge burp inside.. and in the middle of kissing, it always grosses DH out!

EVERY newbie wonders if they just slipped. I remember one person that decided to get a barium swallow w/fluoro every single month. Maybe even every other week just to make sure he didn't slip.

I mean seriously... How do you respond to that? :confused:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
