Do any of you still have really huge burps? I wasn't much of a burper before wls but now if I am not careful I swear I could out burp my dh! They also come at unusual times (not right at a meal like you would expect!). Sometimes I will be in my office hours later and bend over to get something out of a file drawer and BAM a long ugly burp will rear it's ugly head. They aren't all that easy to stiffle either! :thumbup:

Anyone else have that problem?

I burp these little mini burps while I'm eating if I am eating too fast.

I don't think I burp as much as I used to. Sometimes though, I let out a huge one. Yesterday I was having lunch and my stomach started hurting. All of a sudden, this huge burp came out. I was really glad I was alone in my office.

I don't have huge burps, but if I eat too fast, I get awful, loud hiccups. So much so, that everyone will be looking at me and wondering what I'm doing. Definitely a motivation to eat slowly, as to avoid the spotlight and have everyone in the lunchroom/conference room/restaurant looking at me.

I get those hiccups too!!!! Bad ones!

When I first got banded I had all that gas in my belly and I belched for a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGg time really loud for about 5 days. After about the third fill I couldn't belch anymore. I don't know when the last time I belched was. I do get hiccups more now though. I never use to get those...

I definately burp more now and louder. And I get the hiccups a lot too. At least we look better now when we burp. LOL

Yep I am a huge burper too moreso now than preband.

Better that end than the other! :smile2:

Better that end than the other! :tongue2:

True enough....true enough!

I get the hiccups, but I always have. If I get really happy, I get the hiccups. it's embarrasing. I worked at this really crappy job and every day on the walk to the back to clock out I would get the hiccups.

That's hilarious Tara. So if someone you dislike slips and falls, you make sure you're out of hearing range right?

Hmmm... I guess I'm alone on that one.

Lil, what does it feel like to be over half way on the weight loss? Details, details and tell me slowly. I want to savor it. Gotta live vicariously for a bit longer.

Definitely much more burping here since getting the band. And A LOT more since I got this last fill. Oh well...it's a small price to pay, I suppose.

How long does it take for this insurance company to approve someone after the 6 month supervision dieting and all the testing?

Ezma, I have to admit - it's pretty nice. I've got so many people calling me "skinny" now - which I'm clearly not! It feels good though, it makes me acknowledge all my hard work.

However there is a down side... I feel like I have to work twice as hard now just to lose a couple pounds. I swear, I went up and down between 239 and 236.5 for a total of nine days. Finally this morning I was 234.5!! I felt like I won a gold medal or something... Weird, I don't remember having gone through this much weirdness every other time I lost weight. Well, I guess it will be worth it in the end because that will be weight never to be seen again!

Ok, I could go on forever -- so I'll end this now.
