Burping and Sighing

JAYGERL05 · December 14, 2005

Does burping or sighing mean I am full. I had surgery 9/8 and my first fill 11/17 of 1.5 cc. I dont feel any restriction unless i dont know how it feel. At first after 3 days of liquids and mushy I would sigh after eating, didnt know if it was because i was tired of counting up to 30 while i ate. Now i burp after eating so I stop eating. just wanted to know if this was a sign of being full.

Sighing is a very common "soft stop" sign that you have had enough. I guess burping could be, as well, although a lot of bandsters burp waaaay more after being banded than ever before.

Some people have a little sneeze, some people have a little hiccup. It's good that you're recognizing your soft stop early!

I burp and have LEARNED to stop! Oh yes, I've eaten another bite or two, after the burp, but have regretted it. Funny, this is the first I've hear about the "sigh." We were banded the same day!

I used to get the "sigh" preband and I would keep eating even though I knew I was full. That doesn't happen anymore. When I have that sigh, I stop. The burping gives me the illusion of having more room so I try to ignore it.
