Surgery was a week ago and I am still almost constantly burping/belching! Anyone else having this issue? Any thoughts on why it is, or how to minimize/get rid of it? At first I figured it was the gas they pumped into my stomach, and I guess it may still be, but a whole week later? I'm thinking now it might have more to do with my pouch. I'm still on the clear liquid diet.

Thoughts anyone?

Thanks!

yeah, i get the randome hiccups also. does this mean that something is wrong or that it may hurt the band? i go see my surgeon next Wednesday and i am going to be sure to ask him. anyone else have the random hiccups? any suggestions on what could be causing it? thanks

swtacey1977 - let me/us know what your surgeon says. I have my first fill appointment with my surgeon this Wednesday as well, so I'll check with him. It's embarrassing at work, they are really loud and deep. Just one at a time though, so people think it's weird or don't know what it is because there aren't more of them. So Fun!:clap2:

Mine have gradually improved since my July surgery, but seem they they will never get back to normal. I hate when you bend and one pops out without warning. I teach at a school with 85 minute periods and have to go into the bathroom during my breaks just to burp and fart!!!!!! Yet I would do it again in a heart beat, more gas for less a**, you betcha!:bounce:

guess what? I still burp after 1 year out!! and after each fill it starts up again. I think its our bodies way of telling us we are full. lots of luck! ndean

I can't burp either. I feel pressure all the time under my ribs but unable to burp! Tomorrow I am going to get some phazyme and see if that helps. I'm only 4 days out so maybe I will start burping soon.gg

It's going to sound funny- but those burps will be your friends. When something gets stuck and finally goes through, it's with a burp following it for me. I get so happy now when I burp. Don;t worry about it. Those burps will provide relief soon!

wow, thank goodness for this site. I had band fitted on 24th Nov and from day one had no restriction, I was constantly hungry and only the fact that this op cost me £7000 has kept me on a diet for the last 18 days apart from one binge day. Then about 4 days ago the burping started and gets uncomfortable when i eat and drink untill i have burped (or farted) i am uncomfortable. I know now that a lot of people have this, i just wonder why mine has only started now after 14 days. I did have the op gas pain in my shoulder from day one, but that is a lot less now. Thank you all as i feel less like a freak now with my massive burps and farts lol.
