I got my band a year ago and things have been good. But recently I've been having this problem with burping constantly! I feel like I have a huge burp stuck just waiting to get out. It gets even worse when I'm in bed at night. And this gas makes it hard to breathe. I have no idea what caused it or how to get rid of it! I told my doctor two weeks ago and he said it's probably too tight, so he loosened it for me and I thought that did the trick, but NO. I've been careful with how I eat- I don't even get super hungry, I've cut down on salt ALOT, I've been working out, I've been drinking alot of liquids; I tried the chewable Gas-X, Pepto, Tums, Mylanta, and nothing works! I have an appointment with the doc this Saturday, and I REALLY hope that he doesn't loosen the band again! Anywho, has this happened to anyone, and does anybody know what I should do???

can you ask for an xray?/ i wonder if the band has slipped at all? do you get pain after eating?

I get this too and am still trying to identify what the issue is... I think it's related to eating too many carbs, but I'm just not sure...
