Burps...Burps...Burps

Ok so am I going to be burping like a frat guy for the rest of my life? I was banded 9 days ago. It's annoying how gassy my stomach gets at times. Is this part of the healing process?? Mehhhhhhh!

Kind of, sort of. I do notice I have to cover up more burps pro-band than pre-band. I'm not sure why. I burped and sneezed at the same time and everyone in the office thought I sounded like a rabid dog.

It gets better. You are still full of gas from surgery. Walk a lot you should feel better soon. I do burp more but its not a lot.

Burping like a sailor is quite common, it's something you get used to. Just think yourself lucky that for now it's coming out of the top...............

Burping is part of the program. Get used to it.

I burp and have rolling gurgle belch like it is crawling out of my throat.

I have been banded for 3 and 1/2 weeks and did sound like a sailor like elcee said above. My 2 boys, 9 and 11, kept saying "Mom, you get on us when we keep burping like that" and my husband kept saying "Sexy!", sarcatically! I told them it wasn't my choice but that I had to so that I could help clear the gas out of my stomach. That went for like 2 weeks after being banded. However, it is much better now and don't notice it to be a problem now at all.

Ok well thanks for the low down. I hope it becomes less soon!

I was wishing I could burp post op. I felt like I needed to but no dice. Now I burp here and there but nothing bad.

I don't have as much of a problem with gas when I am careful to eat and drink slowly to avoid swallowing air. Drinking, especially, has taken some practice.

As I was looking at the subjects, I was burping. I burp a lot especially after a shake. I make my shakes in a blender with lots of ice and the air makes me burp. I also fart a lot, too. I was told get used to it.
