Since getting banded, I burp a WHOLE lot. Before banding I pretty much never did. Now pretty much after ever meal I burp. Real big ones. Very unlike me. It feels like they are coming from deep within my stomach. It's like after the last of the food makes it through the band that a massive amount of air escapes or something.

I have had zero complications with the band other than that... I'm not terribly restricted though since I'm losing weight still like this. I will be very happy to keep this as my only complication though... =) It's just... interesting.

Can someone please move this post to pre-op, post-op questions? I posted this in the wrong place somehow...

After surgery I couldnt burp at all for 2 weeks, when I finally did I felt so much better, since then, I burp so much! I burp, gurgle?, and do this crazy hybrid hicup burp. I always feel better after.

I do burp, but the farting is what has worsened for me. :scared2:

My burps have worsened big time! It's as if they come from my toes and gather strength on their way up! They're soooooooooooooo embarassing when I'm with a customer and out of nowhere I have this hicc-a-burp that the whole room can hear! I'm so happy to hear that I'm not alone with that!

I never thought I would be jealous of people's burps! I would love to be able to burp - I'm 3 days post op and still feel gassy. Maybe I just haven't got the hang of new burping yet or maybe it will be better once I start solids.

I always thought that burping after a meal was a compliment to the chef - at least that's what my grandma told me!

Things will change, just wait. Congratulations on getting the band. It will be great when the weight starts coming off. The first couple of weeks are the hardest. Hang in there and please do what the doctor tells you :smile2:

Yea, I felt like that after surg and what helped me was walking...walking as much as you can..that help me.

As a matter of fact, I RARELY burp if ever now. I get hiccups a little more I think, but burping , hardly ever!

I only burp a lot when i eat too fast.

Everyone is defferent so yours could be for another cause

A lot less! I had a hiatal hernia repair and I think that's why I burp less.

My husband calls me Kermit (the frog) because I now burp daily and often - but they are short burps in my throat - over and over again at times. No pain. (I know the difference from PBing - very painful). I lost a lot of weight the first 4 months but nothing in the past 7 months! Am wondering about the fill - need to see my doc. I'm afraid to get another fill because of this almost constant burping. I even burp in the morning when I have nothing in my stomach yet.

i had my surgery last month on the 6th and have not being able to burp. i try but nothing comes out!!!! no problem with gas and a lots of problem with consipation. thank God for Phillips milk of magnesia.

:thumbup:

lol yeah I have some crazy burps now after being banded. It's pretty funny when I can actually let em rip but can be really annoying to keep down if I'm out in public or something.

Hiccups=yes.......Burps= i just cant. but unfortunately the gas does come out the other way! NOW THATS EMBARASSING!

I was unable to burp 1st couple of weeks after surgery then once I passed the liquied stage the burping & hiccups started. I usually get the hiccups 1st thing in the morning or whenever my stomache is quite empty & after the 1st bite or food or even 1st sip of liquids I get the hiccups. I too cant help but giggle when I let the burps come out full force (when Im alone) I was never one who burped & I find it amusing. Now when Im with compnay or in public Now thats a different matter. I for the most part can control it but then there are the surprise attacks that I have no control of and It is embarrasing. I was hoping this was a temporary thing but keep reading people who have been banded for sometime now still burp.....Oh well.
