Newly Banded... Can't burp!



Recommended Posts

I was banded 4 days ago and ever since then I have been feeling like I want to burp, but the belch wont come up. I can feel it go back down and then burn in my chest. This happens SEVERAL times a day. When I go walking I get this huge relief like I am about to bur, then it just goes right back down. I feels as though there is a clog in my throat and it will not allow the burp up. I have passes gas a few times, but no relief has come of this. I am still in a LOT of pain. Has anybody else experienced this?

Any suggestions????

Dilute apple juice with Water and warm it up. It helped me with gas relief and a bowel movement.

I totally had the same problem. That feeling goes away. I will say though, that I really never burp at all anymore. Sometimes little ones when I'm eating. I think the band doesn't allow the air to come back up. So it can only go down. You know what that means....toots! And lots of them! Lol.

We were banded on the same day! :)

I had that for the first 24 hours, but since then I've been able to. I still have a ton of gas pain in my stomach and shoulder, though. My shoulder feels like someone knifed it. :(

As my doctor told me, this will go away with time. I thought "oh yeah".....but honestly it did. Give it at least 2 weeks. Eventually you will learn to burp from the pit of your stomach! Sounds crazy, but that has been my experience.

I had that same feeling. It does go away. Try smaller sips of Water or whatever you are drinking. I think sometimes it's too much to go thru the band. Walk a lot!!' That helped. I still burp if I take too big of drinks or eat too fast. Good luck!

Your pouch is very small and it's probably swollen so there's little room for a burp. Swallowing air is a cause of burping and I doubt you can swallow a lot of air just yet.

Try Gas X strips. They really helped to alleviate some of the gas pain for me. Hang tough. It does go away. It was 2 or 3 weeks for me but it does go away. I also became best friends with my heating pad. :)

      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
