Constant burping when eating? Ok? Bad?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on June 16, 2010. I've had 2 fills (1 cc, 1.5 cc) plus the 2 cc's that they put in the band during surgery. I had my second fill one week ago. I'm much tighter after my second fill. I feel a tightness in my lower throat when I eat most things now - even when I drink sometimes but that is going away I think. When I eat, I need to burp after just about every bite. I can feel a pressure and then I feel like I need to produce a burp. Is this being stuck? I'm not vomiting or sliming. Eventually, I'll burp which relieves some of the pressure. Am I not chewing well enough? Eating the wrong things? I can even have this experience with yogurt? However, I haven't had any problems with a few foods as random as popcorn. Still figuring out what is normal. I assume that this is just what being tighter feels like and it will loosen up as this fill settles in?

It's just air displaced by whatever you're eating and drinking. I burp more than I ever have. The tighter the band is the more I burp.

When that was happening to me my band was too tight. You may need to get a small amount out.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
