I Can't Burp!

[CCornell87 35]

Ahh! So I feel this incredible urge to burp, but NOTHING will come out! I feel like Im constantly swallowing tons of air and it just upsets my stomach! Im 5 days post op...Does this sensation go away? Even when Im not drinking or eating anything it feels like bubbles are going down when I just naturally swallow! Is that normal? Tried GasX...anyone else have the same issue?

GasX meltaways work wonders. They are the dissolvable little strips. They will break down the gas and relieve all the pressure you are feeling. After over two years I still keep them in my purse. You can buy them at most drugstores. Good luck and hang in there. Better days are coming !

I felt like that too. It hasn't happen in a while so I think it goes away. I'm 2 week out

You can take more than one if you need to. They won't hurt you.

The reason I think you feel like you want to burp is that you are swollen on the inside where thay put your band as the swelling goes down the feeling should go away.

After a fill I always feel like I want to burp, my Dr makes me drink a whole glass of Water to see if I can burp if not I am a little too tight, Afer a few days that feeling goes away and so does hunger YAY..... What you are feeling is strange but normal after being banded.

yep..lol... we all put our hands up for this one. Im five months post op and still have the urge to burp really strongly and sometimes cant. Have you raised your hands above your head to try and move the air? i do and most times it works for me.
