Just a quick question for you newbies out there...I'm 5 days post op...does this burping and other unmentionables ever go away? I drink ANY thing and burp burp burp. I never have been a gassy person so this is taking a little getting used to!

Thank everyone!

Hey Megan!!!

Congrats on your Banding!!! well the burping and unmentionables from the gas they use to blow up your tummy goes away...BUT i have weird burps now that i NEVER had before. i was banded the same day as a girl i met online and she has the weird burps too. they are deeeeeep burps you can kinda stifle them so they arent really loud. i completely grossed out my brother. he thinks girls shouldnt burp or ... and him being my brother i knew it would freak him out if i could burp louder than him so i did...hehe they are burps that come after dinner like when the food is going down.

Any other Burping Bandsters???

I had really PAINFUL burps the first two weeks - they weren't loud, but they hurt.

I didn't make any particularly memorable noises after that until my first fill. Then I "gurgled" for a week or two, and then that went away except on tight mornings while I ate/drank.

With this last fill (#4), I am making very loud weird gurgley noises, kind of like a slow drain that gets a good suck down every once in a while. Then I have a series of silent but rapid burps once or twice a day.

Not having gas problems from the other end, though, thank goodness!

Thanks you guys! That makes me feel better! I had the hard, painful burps until two days ago...now they are just feel like hey are from the bottom of my feet but they aren't loud, thank goodness! They just suprise me!

Thanks again!

LoL burping??? How about wanting to ( excuse my language ) fart all the time????

On my flight back from San Diego I basically lived in the bathroom!!!

I never burped before either, but i get 3 or 4 deep wind rushes out of my mouth after i eat, i cant beleive i have that much air down there!
