Burping?

[nicolemm 24]

I was banded on 12/12 and I burp SO much! It doesn't feel like reflux and is so relieving every time I do. I notice it happens a lot after I eat also which I'm only on full liquids.

I do have a little reflux and I take Prilosec every day but like I said, this doesn't feel like anything is coming back up, it just feels relieving...

Is burping like this hurting my band? Did anyone else have this?

I burp like it is my job, full belly, empty belly, liquids, food, chicken, meatballs - burping loud and proud. 3 months out. Since the day I started my preop liquids I have not taken 1 antacid, zero heartburn............so if I have to burp, so be it, would rather that then heartburn. I don't think it is hurting anything except my ladylike reputation

ur doing just fine just getting rid of all the air from surgery , however I agree with wildrose I still haven't stopped it's become my job also at any time but I don't have the acid reflux or heartburn like I had before surgery cause the surgeon did my hiatial hernia also so I just have the air all the time either way mostly on the front end tho sometimes the back end so I let people not to get to close when that happens lol, so it's normal also just sip slowly, good luck.

I had my surgery in September and I burped and passed gas forever. I just realized that the last few weeks I haven't been doing it. So thankfully it got better. Good luck.

I also had the band on 12/12 and I'm burping some but still in a whole lot of pain and very very swollen!!! I was told most people feel better and can go back to work in 3 to 4 days but it has been five days now and my top of stomach is so swollen and I have pain in my left side and my back!! Bad!!!!! I had a severe stomach surgery last year to remove some rumors I was told I had some scar tissue was thinking maybe that's why I hurt so bad... Had anyone else had this problem?

I was banded 11/16 and hurt for almost 3 weeks. They fixed a hernia I didn't know about, and have had several other surgeries also. Lots of scar tissue in there so it takes a bit longer. As I was told, sip sip sip and walk walk walk and lots of gas-x strips. Don't be too hard on yourself. You can do this!
