I was banded in March of this year. My surgery and recovery went really smoothly. I had my second fill probably 3 months ago. I never had a problem with my second fill. I was actually unsure if I was even tight enough. I feel full a lot quicker than I did before lap band but I still feel like food might pass through my top pouch really easily. Anyway...

To the real issue... A few days ago I started having some really mild pain/discomfort when I would burp. I don't have the discomfort when I'm standing or I sit up really straight. It is mostly when I'm sitting comfortably and I burp. I've read about band slips and how you are usually in immense pain when you're laying down. I only have really really mild pain while laying down if I burp. I have never had pain or discomfort when eating. I thought for a few days that maybe I was just extremely gassy but it has lasted probably 3 days now.

Have any of you experienced this? I've seen people talk about discomfort and pain when over eating... but I get the discomfort/pain only when I burp, really. I'm perfectly fine eating.

Me too I'm fine when eating but when I'm in the car it starts. Luckily too it doesn't just come out too often when I'm in a conversation or with others. I had 4 years of burpfree living after the band now suddenly it's a real problem. Hoping it's just that we're eating too fast and gulping air...certain food don't cause the gas. So food journaling for a day or two might help.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
