Just got banded the 10th, having trouble drinking



Recommended Posts

Seems like every time I drink , I want to burp. Which then causes me to want to spit it up. I'm thinking its just the gas trying to come out and my body adjusting.

Anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

Your stomach is probably quite swollen since you just had surgery a couple days ago. I had a hard time the first few days...in fact the first 8 days it was very hard for me to get anything down. I worked at sipping all day long to try to get the fluids in. Then, almost like magic, the swelling was gone and I felt like I could eat anything. Hang in there, it does get better.

I'm wondering if your surgeon put Fluid in your band at the time of surgery. Some do and some don't. When I read about people having trouble swallowing liquid post op, that's usually the cause. Ask your surgeon. If there is fluid in your band then havin it removed might help.

Best wishes.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
