Hi!! I was banded on July 8th..(congrats BTW)

I WISH I was burping!! The gas pain sat in my chest and HURT like a 24 hour heart attack! it felt soo good to burp to release some gas! LOL

But from what I have read, you will have alot of gas for a couple weeks (whether it sits or comes out) bc of the CO2 that they pump in your stomache during the surgery...

I know its not lady like, but I'd rather burp all day than sit in pain :wink2:

My gas started to move into the back and was so painful ..i am a baby :biggrin: but it's FINALLY getting better.

remember...WALK WALK WALK! It helps the gas! as far as you getting out of breath, are you walking too fast? remember we had major surgery, so take it easy...

and if it doesnt get better...ALWAYS consult your doctor!!

GOOD LUCK!!

I NEVER burped b4 my band- now I can take a sip of water and sound like a grown man burping... :scared2:there are days that I am more out of breath than others- mostly around the fill time or my period cycle...

Good luck with your journey...

Yes, there are several thread somewhere around here regarding this subject. Post banding the burping is pretty bad, but it subsides, not totally, but it does get better.

As for breathing, that is probably the result of the surgery. Take about 10 really deep breaths a couple of times a day for a few days and see if that helps.

I am still burping, just not quite as bad and I had problems with breathing for about a week or a little more. I don't have that issue now.

Take care of yourself.

I burped alot after surgery. I also had alot of gurgling going on in my stomach for the first couple of months. I dont burp half as much now and the gurgling has subsided. Just be patient and it will all work itself out! Good luck!

I'd say, get used to it. I'm 7 months out and with every bite or drink, I burp! I burp far more than DH now!LOL..Most around me are used to it now..Better out than in..Could be worse, the other end..:wink2:

YEP! I have become a burper! :wink2: I agree, a lot better than the other end!! hahaha..
