I had my 2nd fill Monday. I have some restriction which is good. My problem is everything I eat or drink I start belching. I can't control it! It is soooo loud. Gas-X helps some but not always. Anyone else with this problem?

I have only recently started the burping thing. Only since my last fill a few days ago. But its not always a burp...i feel like i have to and when i try and burp, i can feel a little bit of what i'd just eaten come back up a little to the back of my throat. Of course swallowing after i burp. This can go on for like an hour. I don't know if its the restriction and i ate too much, hense coming up a little when i burp...i know the food isn't "stuck".. as i've experienced that too and that is very painful and made me naucious and puke. This is different.. just kinda feels weird and maybe full...hense maybe why i constantly feel as if i have to burp and when i do, a little food comes to the back of my throat. Am i making sense? does anyone know what i'm talking about?

I Know EXACTLY what you are talking about. I think we have restriction!

Since my last fill, I have the burp and food come back up in my throat too. I was wondering too if this means good restriction or I'm overeating. I find that I want to eat more than I should. It's very hard to accept such little portions....

One of my main pet peeves is people who burp loudly, on purpose, and refuse to politely excuse themselves. Then, I got the lapband. I turned into one of those gassy, burpy, farty party people that I used to complain about. I thought I was losing it, till I started reading this forum. Now I know that it's "normal"!!! How do you control it? I mean, really. :tongue:

Oh in my south, women are crass and crude.. not the southern belles :biggrin:

Burping club....My burps are vicious. Usually I would only burp like this when I had pizza and a soda. But now I have non-lady like burps when I start to get full. Oh well, it's a great indicator to stop eating.

I've got the gurgling in the throat too along with the burping. But, I've found I burp if I eat too fast and don't thoroughly chew. Then the burping seems to help move things around so nothing gets stuck.?? Weird, I know.

When I was first banded, I burped all the time. As time passes I've noticed it isn't as bad. However, when it does happen I sound like a guy during Monday Night Football...I'd definately win the burping contest. But I feel so much better afterwards.

As for gas - I had it a lot at first too. I too have noticed after a fill I am gassy for a couple of days. It then improves. I also have the hiccups after a fill for a couple of days. I had a fill this past Thursday. Yesterday all the extra bodily noises stopped. DH thinks it is hillarious though. My kids don't know what to think - I just blame it on him, which I think his hillarious!

HORROR!!! My husband says I now even pass gas in my sleep.... Lovely.......

i know these are old posts but they helped me big time! i had a fill today and i am experiencing the worst gas pains i have ever had. I had surgery in October 2011 then three fills that tooks me to February and then my stupid port flipped .

long story short.....i have had more than a couple fills, stabs, and 2 surgeries and this is the worst gas ever. I took gas x and read all of your posts. it readlly helped calm my nerves!!

anyone have advice on how to kill cravings and stop eating stuff that slips through the band like ice cream?????

I have a lot of unladylike gas episodes as well!! So embarrassing
