Is Burping okay? I'm having some gas... and I always feel like I need to burp. Once in a while.. I do get a little burp out. Is that good or bad?

Burping is fine, it is so much better than puking, hiccuping or holding the gas in. I never burped in my life before the band, and now I welcome it when I eat too fast.

For me the burps are much bigger and loud and come from deep in my stomach. It's kind of embarassing, I can't make them quiet, but oooh, they feel good.

I wasn't a burper before--but now!!!lol I have to burp, long and loud, or I'm very uncomfortable. I do take Gas-X if it gets too much, it helps a little.

I too have been burping a ton since nbeing banded on the 14th. They seem a little more productive now, meaning I get some relief when I burp. This last week I felt like I had to burp, and all I could get was a little tiny burp here and there even with the gas-x. I never thought I would say how good it feels to burp now, although it seems they always come in 3's LOL! It will be interesting to go back to work tomorrow if i continue burping the way I am now....doesn't matter if I have just eaten ot it's first thing in the AM. I guess it's better than farting or throwing up, and the air has to come out, right?

often when i cant burp i hiccup- then i am scared that i slipped my band!! I take gas x often. if my BF is around he will slap my back which helps!

i am trying so hard to baby my band, not swallow any air, etc. but these hiccups can sometimes not be helped- any suggestions?

It took 8 days for me to burp and boy was it painful not being able to get the air out. I was so excited when I finally had a good one. In fact it is only occasionally when I get a good one up, usually after drinking plain Water, but boy does it feel good!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
