Try gas-x that has helped me but you do have to walk and try doing some arm windmills. I hope this helps

Yes yes yes you have to keep walking around as much as you can, even if you don't want to and have your bowels moved yet?

I am pre-op, and I received a book to read from lapband clinic. The book addresses both of your issues. The gas pain is from the anesthesia and no you probably won't burp with the band in place. The book says the post op gas pain will go away on its own, and it didn't offer solution to not being able to burp. Let me know how you are feeling, now that a couple more weeks have passed. I'm interested in what is in store for me too!

It took me a while before I could burp, but no problems now. Try to avoid PB pr productive burping though.. that means you have over eaten or have something stuck!

One of the things the band did to me was it stopped me from being able to burp. Ever. In that I mean I didn't burp for 4 years.

That's how I knew my band was leaking - I started being able to burp again. I don't think it's hugely common but I'm proof it's possible that you just can't burp again sometimes after lapband surgery. It's odd to start with but your body learns to live with it. Since my band replacement and first fill I've stopped being able to burp again!

Odd. In my case I have been burping far more.

months after my surgery, I needed to burp so bad and it would not come out. I felt so uncomfortable until one day I bent over to pick up a pencil and out it came. It sounded like a tiger roar. I was so relieved and I did not apologize to the people around me.

Before that I was walking, bending over, taking, gas x and jumping down the stairs. I was trying everything to get the burp out.

I hope you find a solution so you are not so uncomfortable. Good luck

Yep, walking helps. Sometimes I might gently pound on my chest to help, not hard. That sometimes helps.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
