Do you burp more now that you are banded? (non-productive, just air)

I hardly ever burp and if I do it is so small. However, I do one giant hiccup after every meal!!:w00t:

i don't really burp, i do get the hiccups! And sometimes it hurts.

That is what I love about this forum, I was feeling like I was doing something wrong cause I burp or hiccup a lot. I now realize I am normal and no one ever called me normal before!

I have had terrible wind since having my band, everyday i have had to take something to ease it as i was getting awful pain in my shoulder BUT the last couple of days i have eaten a little bit more and hey presto NO WIND, i was on liquids only during the day and having a healthy meal in the eve.. i obviously wasnt eating enough x

I have also noticed, especially lately for some reason, that I have been erupting like a volcano after I eat. You can actually feel the "bubbles" working it's way up then between the burps and hiccups, it's awful. I have been using the GasX strips which seem to work better than the little gel tabs they make. Glad to hear "I'm normal too!" :smile:

YES... Big time. I have to burp myself even. After I eat, I have to get up and do something or walk around. Then I burp and I feel content.

It depends on what I have eaten, but I have noticed it more. Sometimes I belch like a truck driver after a huge meal after even the smallest amount of food.< /p>

Before surgery I was the burping qeen...now I RARELY ever burp...for me its major gas at the other end... really depend on Gasx!! LOL

My brother called the first real burp he ever heard after I was banded my "frat-boy-beer-drinking-belch". (I guess he can say that since he was a frat boy I don't burp after eating; it's really after drinking anything... Water, Protein Water, juice, coffee, tea, etc. (Haven't ever been a soda drinker so those aren't on the list).

I was talking with a friend and I told her I was sometimes embarrassed when I did burp so loudly and really tried to disguise it. Her comment to me, which I had to laugh at, was "honey, I grew up with four brothers and we had belching contests. Be proud of the burp".
