maraksha 0 Posted May 5, 2013 I was banded four days ago, I've been doing fairly well my problem is I feel like burping, when I think it's coming up I just get a sharp pain in my stomach and don't actually burp, is that normal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hely88 883 Posted May 5, 2013 Best things you can do are take gas-x chewables or strips and walk walk walk as much as you can!!!! Congrats on your big day!! 3 Shawnie914, ☠carolinagirl☠ and jaxjen11 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bsumner 8 Posted May 6, 2013 Hey, I was banded 2 days ago and Im feeling the same thing. Its almost like I have to burp or it feels like bubbling. What are you doing to help it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawnie914 5 Posted May 6, 2013 I was banded on 5/1 and had the same problem. Walk, walk, walk and use gas-x like hely said. It's usually caused by residual trapped air used during surgery but it will pass. It's uncomfortable but it really does get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LadyDiva618 359 Posted May 6, 2013 I've been doing a lot of walking around my house I wish the weather was nice so I can go outside and get some fresh air. Gas x and a heating pad is helping me a little bit I am getting more active each day. The pain will pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
