Hi All-

Colleen from Denver here, I was banded on Monday, Feb 5th.

I am doing great!!! Feeling strong, soreness / pain is minimial... of course using my pain pills...

However, I am having some major burping after I drink my liquds - Is this normal? Should I try not to burb?

thanks,

Colleen

I had my surgery 1/31 and had excessive burping for mor than a week. I called my dr 8 days out and he said that this is normal. It is the gas that they put in during surgery. Today is the first time that the burping is better. I still burp but not after every think I drink or every move I make. So it will get better hang in there. He also told me there is nothing to take for it. I tried gas-x as several had recommended however for me this did not work. Good Luck

Burping is normal. Its your body telling you that you are full now. Its one of the signs. Good luck.

Perfectly normal, I burp all the time.

If that's my body's way of saying I'm full...then I'm full ALL of the time!

I burped up gas just the day of and day after surgery, man did it taste NASTY. It's totally normal, though!

I was banded on 1/31 and ever since I have been burping more than the usual for me. Several weeks ago, I called the nurse about this and she said it was normal. I guess it is one of the lapband side affects.

I still burp 5 yrs. later...

You have new plumbing, and if you get a loud burp from the stomach up, it means your passage is clear. That's a very good thing. So your not alone.
