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...

I do burp also, but it feel like I am sucking air when I try to drink anything, very painfull in right side of chest. hope someone can help , thanx

I NEVER burped before, now like a lot of you its always! And long ones too. I hate it!

Ive gotten to where lately if something isnt going down to great I burp...other than that I think my hubby is glad I dont burp as much as I used to!

I get the hiccups all the time now. mainly when something gets kinda stuck..hard hiccups. hope this is normal. lol

Oh my gosh burb..... Yeah I burp like crazy and there these hollow scary burps from deep in my stomach and I also hiccup alot, I use to like when I would get hiccups before being banded but now they are just too much.

Ive been wondering about this. Ive just gotten banded and Ive been burping like crazy! My husband and I have been talking about it hoping its a phase.

The burps feel amazing! Like a balloon deflating! i sound like a drain pipe :-)

Teehee.

I burp so much I named by band, burp-ahh!! it is almost all the time, morning noon and night!!! All air, my friend said I always thought you were full of air, now I now for sure.

Yes, I do the hiccu-burp thing after everymeal, sip of Water, you name it! kind of embarrassing!!!!

I hate the hiccups...theyre awful!!! my husband just laughs and laughs but they really hurt...id go back to just burping any day!

Hi,thanks for asking the ? on burping. I burp so much it's ridiculous. I can burp sometimes for a half hour to an hour.Does anyone know whats up with that.

Great tip Goosie...hows it goin?

I was banded 5 days after you and after my fourth fill I am finally feeling true restriction good thing too bc I have hit a plateau and haven't moved in 2mos.

Good Luck August Bandit!

CHER

I'm happy to hear you all talking about hiccuping. I have the hiccups several times a day, especially during meals. I thought it was because I was either eating too fast or taking too big bites. I also burp more and it scares me because I never know if it will be a regular burp or pb.

I asked my DR about the hiccups today and he said it wasn't a usual complaint.

i get the hiccups mainly when im wanting to get stuck on something...i actually helps me sometimes but i dont like them.
