burp vs PB

[ginger12/26 4]

Hey all,

I had my band on 12/26. I haven't had a fill yet. I have never PB (as in I have never had anything come up), however, I burp...alot. When I do burp I can't controll it, and strangly enough, it kinda feels good. Is anyone else going through this?

That is normal. You will know when you PB. Its just like vomitting. Good luck.

My burps changed. I rarely burp now, but when I do, they just kind of keep coming, and it feels like they're coming from deeper than before.

I burp a lot - i snow ski and swear the cold and altitude tighten my band and sometimes on the lifts i burp and burp and it relieves some pressure. I burp if i eat too much and get shoulder pain and sometimes it helps and i've noticed again if i eat too much sometimes a deep, long and scarily (is that a word??) satisfying burp will come out and that feels good.

Does general burping do damage to your band??

I am recently banded and have had to burp a few times a day. I do, but try to gently. I am just so scared that I am going to do something to my band!

What about hiccups?? are they damaging at all?

No general burping and hiccups which are quite common do not damage the band. Excess PBing can cause a slip though.
