I'm doing everything right, small bites, chew chew chew, no straws, blah blah blah, but after I eat I burp constantly for at least an hour. Thankfully it's small quiet urps but good grief it's driving me crazy! Gas X doesn't do much for me, is there anything else I can do to help it?

Beats me I don't get food yet! Did you burp when you were on liquids? I hope I don't burp burp burp it will drive me insane (short trip)

its just a band thing i burp all the time

i do the same thing and its hard when u tell ur girls that its rude try to hold it in till u get away from people and i do it all the time its nice to know i am not alone if u find some way to stop it let me know and back to u

Yes its true the gas is so bad now! If we could get paid for ours like the government we would be rich!!!

I'm burping a lot on liquids. After I drink sometimes I will have 5-10 little bitty burps. Often they are almost silent. Just releasing the air.

I'm just happy I'm not farting up a storm like my poor friend who had gastric bypass. You have to flee the house when she passes gas and it's frequent! :smile:

I'm not burping with liquids and I pray I don't with food. This is very distressing to me!

I burp after I eat or drink.........so I really think it is a lapband thing!

Mine are more like a hick up. My family calls them the meeps. :smile:

Also, I get kind of a squeak when I'm at my stopping point. It's audible enough that my daughter will look at me and tell me I'm done.

Anyone else get that?

It must be a band thing. I burp all the time now, I can't help it. When I eat, I always burp afterwards. I try not to get in air, but I must, because it is bad sometimes. Drinking doesn't seem to do it like the food!

The first two months after my lap band I was burping loudly all the time. Most of them were completely random. Inbetween meals, and with no coraspondence with drinking.

I work in the customer service field, and I was on the phone with a customer and all of a sudden a large loud belch came out with out warning. I was so embarrassed! Luckly enough the guy starting laughing, and told me that I could win a burping contest. AAfter apologizing we went back to the origional conversation.

It was really annoying, but just past the two month mark the belching has calmed down. My Dr. did tell me that some people are gassier than others. I was afraid that I was doing something wrong, or that I was going to make my band slip, but she reasured me that I was one of the special ones.

I make a strange little noise. It's somewhere between a burp and a hiccup, but it is neither!!! I just say "Ooops, excuse me..my band is talking" At least you don't have the gurgle in your throat, that is even worse .

Well I guess I'm not alone, I need to be thankful that I'm a quiet burper and get used to it huh?
