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...

      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.

      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.
