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. :blink: They aren't all that easy to stiffle either! :thumbup:

Anyone else have that problem?

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.

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

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?

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
