I have been belching today and when I do i feel like it might be acid reflux or something. Did anyone else experience this?

Have you eaten anything tough or spicy? Usually something OTC helps settle the gas.

Belching and gas is normal for your stage in the lapband "game". Gas is a major because you are filled with gas while you are on full life support. Great wishes to you,and try some gas-x and walking to relieve the gas. Karen

Listen to these people , but don't think u ever get rid of the gas some of us r pro at belching specially after we eat or before so let it out and don't hold back , some of get stuck episodes and can't stop belching for bout 5 to 10 min so just take it easy but do try to wlk maybe around for 5-10 min and see if it helps , after surgery that's why they make u walk cause they fill r bellys with air dutring the procedure so keep on belching just wait til u get the other gas lol sometimes , but try to take the suggestions they help.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
