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.

      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?
