Hey all. I am now 8 days post op and I'm getting extremely annoyed about the fact that I can't burp! Met with my doctor for my post-op yesterday and he explained I may never be able to again. EVER? SERIOUSLY?! I am in need of some serious input people!

I thought the same thing as you, but after the healing is over you will burp...and be relieved every time you do! :)

Sometimes you need to move the gas out the other side. Not trying to be gross but put your head low while on your knees and have your backside up high.

I think everybody has trouble burping right after the surgery. But eventually everything settles down and you will burp. It will be a proud moment!

Does that work??? I feel like I need to relieve some pressure. I was banded today and my belly is tight.

Nope. I can't burp. I didn't burp for over 3 years :). For some bandsters, burping is something we just can't do. One of the reasons I suspected I was leaking in fact was because I not only lost restriction but suddenly could burp again. I have not burped since being rebanded 2 months ago.

Honestly, your body adapts and initially it all comes out the other end (sorry TMI) but that settles eventually too. My boyfriend thought I was the most delicate of princesses because I didn't ever burp when we started dating, now he knows I just couldn't!!

I really don't miss it. :)

Same here - walking allowed me to burp. I've been counting them and announcing them to my nurses :)

I think if I burp I will feel better. I've been walking inside my house. I can't go outside because of the humidity. Humidity and my asthma are not buddies.

You'll burp. Trust me.

This!

Seriously. Give it time. I remember getting really sick about a month after surgery and ended up throwing up---throwing up the biggest burpy-retch you ever heard!!! It was AMAZING!! I still remember that!

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

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
