I just had surgery Thursday 9/8. Does the feeling of always needing to burp but you can't ever go away?? It's just pressure and I wonder if its just my stomach adjusting or how it will always be?? Thanks!

I burp all the time. I asked my surgeon about it and he said that it's really common. It's different though from when I first had surgery. I use to have this sensation like I had to burp but then it would never happen. Now, I can actually burp... And do all the time- when I'm hungry, after I take a drink, after I eat... It's actually my "full" signal. When i burp when eating I know it's time to stop eating.

That's Great BaileyRose, that you listen to your body. More people need to.

Mine is a hiccup. If I do it twice, I'm pushing it so stop. I usually am full on one hiccup though.

If they keep coming,,, then I have the hiccups...... LOL

Burping is fine, your still swollen, so you feel this pressure. It will go away.

But burping is important. It means your Band is clear. That's not all coming from your stomach !

Imagine your Bathroom Drain ! You run Water until you hear it's clear by the gurgling sounds it makes.

If you hear nothing,,,, you know it's plugged.

The same is true with the band. It's making all these noises to make sure your new plumbing is open.

If anything is hung up in there or even stuck, it will try to burp over and over until it's clear.

So it's actually a good thing.

You will learn in time to tell the difference in Burps, which ones tell you your open, and clean

verses not to clean.

For now enjoy healing, and welcome to the Band.

I was also banded Thursday. My Dr. told me I will burp over the next few days to let the gas out that was used during surgery. I'm still a little sore today. Wish you a speedy recovery.

I'm a week and a half post-op and i still have some burping. I was told by previous wls patients to keep gas-x handy and it really helped!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
