Constant burping

[dallas98 0]

Tomorrow April 15, 2010 it will be 1 month since I was banded. I am loving every minute of it. If I had to go back in time and having to decide to do this, I will definitelly will. I love eating less and getting so satisfied! Anyway, since day 1, I cannot stop burping/belching all day long. The first thing I do in the morning, even before I start walking out of my bedroom is belch. My chest feels a bit tight most of the day, as if I was full of gas, but belching does not releive the pressure. Does anyone else have these symptoms?

SUPER common. With Laposcopic surgery, youre filled with gas. That gas has to come out :thumbup: Im 9 months out and still burp ALL the time. Its not the gas at this stage, I guess its just the body working. Dont stress!

I know how you feel! I have been burping aton too and am only about 2 1.2 weeks out. It is more common after eating and drinking- but what has helped me is walking - it really helps to get all the air out!!! Even though I burp the whole time its still a great help!!

Hope you have better luck!!

I am three weeks post op. Last week I had my follow up with my surgeron and asked him the question about the burping. His response was "Welcome to Lap Band". For some reason it just happens.

ok your body has long since absorbed the gas that was inserted during surgery, so it is more then like a eating/drinking error. I had this problem so bad to the point that I was getting left chest and shoulder pain about 3 weeks post of from gas. I was belching CONSTANTLY!! here is what I did and I have seen 100% improvement and only belch once in a while.....close to ebing how I was prior to surgery. First I took gas x for a couple of days to help clear out the gas in my stomach . I also started taking very small bites even using a toddler spoon and fork. I took very small sips and never used a straw. I gried to make sure that when I swallowed I didn't gulp so that I was taking in as little air as I could. This has solved the problem for me. I have stuck to this and have had no problems since. Good luck hope this helps

I had my surgery 3 weeks ago and I am finding I still burp as well, although definitely not as bad as the first couple of weeks. I am finding it has a LOT to do with what I am eating and the speed I eat or drink.
