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...

Yup i "hiccaburp" all the time especially after I eat.

Hi, Saw your pics, you look fantastic, congratulations!! I was banded a week ago, can't wait to see the same results, photos like this inspire people to endure the pain for a little longer. Thankyou! mlp

burp and girgle girgle girgle, a lady I work with also had lap band surgery and she came to my desk one day jokingly said "just came by to see if you could burp the alphabet yet"

I burp like a MAN! Its horrible!! lol and I have gas constantly and never did like this in my life!! Doesnt matter what I eat or drink I burp! Its crazy!!!

I burp all the time.

I burp all the time too!

I almost never burp. I probably burp less now than before surgery, and I never thought about it until this thread popped up. I bet it's because I no longer drink carbonated beverages. I have had two stuck episodes, and I burped like crazy those times. I didn't PB though.

I burp all time; when my stomach is empty or full. Big fat, airy ones. They always bring a sense of relief and feel good. I'm able to keep most of them quiet. I'm glad to hear it is common. I used to justify to my DH if I hold in a burp, it'll just come out later as a fart :tongue2:.

I burp alot more! Only when I am eating or drinking, in order to keep eating or drinking I have to burp. It's annoying but I would rather have this problem than the problem I had 107 pounds ago.. lol

I know it took a good couple of weeks after my last fill before I didn't feel all gassy and gaggy. protein shakes helped me get through it, warm tea in the morning and maybe warm broth for lunch and then I was able to eat solid food for supper. seems like after my last fill my stomach and esophogus was irritated, it took some time to get use to it and laying off solid food for a day made a big difference. I notice too that if I don't get enough fluids one day the next day I pay for it, I'm very tight the next day if I haven't had enough to drink the day before and then I get all burpy again until i loosen up again.

This was a great post. I love that people are going through the same thing . This one made me laugh to the point of crying. I almost never burped before surgery, now the burps are LONG AND LOUD. My teenage boys do not burp as much as I do now. I read in a post that means restriction, I hope so I just had my 3rd fill and I am hoping this one helps. I am not losing any where near what I thought I would. 19 lbs since Sept. Not Happy. Thanks for the laughs I needed them.

:tt2: OMG I burp like an erupting volcano! No matter what I eat or drink it is like turning a soda bottle upside down...water passes through my band and AIR comes up! I am embarassed to eat out since the gas comes about half way through my meal. (well it did) Since my fill earlier this month I have the "something is stuck" feeling then a huge belch...followed my 2-3 more. My son thinks it is funny! Some times I have to get up and walk around to get it moving.

I have tried GasEx chewables and it helps when I need to burp and cant but as for stopping it completly I only wish!

I burp from my toes and it last longer than a Justin Timberlake song!

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