Bama53 214 Posted April 7, 2014 I got my 5th fill Thursday and now burp everytime I drink something. Surgeon always does fluoroscope after which was fine. Tried to eat tuna and egg with cheese last nite and had my first bad stuck episode. Soooo painful but passed within 15 mins, so back to liquids for now. I plan to give this a few more days to settle and will call if not better. Has anyone else experienced burping after a fill ? 1 Mikee57 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawalsh 919 Posted April 8, 2014 I just got a fill today and my doctor always make sure I burp twice while I'm drinking a glass of Water. I've ad my band over a year and I'm still going for monthly fills. I was hoping I'd be getting filled less frequently by now but I always burp no matter what I drink.

Debbie3sons 1,936 Posted April 8, 2014 Are you drinking to fast or maybe just to much at one time , just for me and it's almost 2 yrs, I still have to make sure I just drink and not gulp no matter how thirsty I am but it seems if I am full and wait for a couple of hrs, I still will burp and I know better than to take another drink even if I want to be it will come right out, this is just my experience.

Bama53 214 Posted April 9, 2014 Thank y'all. Definitely taking smaller sips have helped. After my other fills this is the 1st time I have felt this much restriction and longest I've not been able to eat regular. Just have to stop and remember what is was like after surgery:) thanks again! 1 Debbie3sons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack 855 Posted April 11, 2014 I used to be rather accomplished at burping. PostOp these 9+ years I doubt I've burped as much as twice. 1 Dragonfly8a reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonfly8a 25 Posted May 6, 2014 So is burping a bad thing? I burp alot. When I feel that food has been stuck for I while I zip on Water and burp the food up until it clears or comes up. Lately my band has been really tight so even Water will sit there for some time and i get the urge to burp and sometimes the water or Protein shake come back up and I have to spit it out. I blame it on the allergies but if my band continues to stay tight I'm afraid I'm gonna have to get some liquid removed because if I drink water at night it keeps coming up when I'm lying down and throughout the night. I'm starting to wonder if i have a pouch and food and water sit there and when I lay down it comes up. Last week I woke up in the middle of the night cause I was chocking on water and dinner :/ ?? I need to make time and go see my Dr. Any advise? 13 months since my surgery, down 76lbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did fine up until yesterday when I went from liquids to have a small amount of chicken. I eat, it comes up, I drink it comes up. Decided to call the Dr and he lecture me I didn't follow the proper steps. I understood liquids for two days and that's what I did. So, I was suppose to do Clear Liquids for two days, liquids for two days, soft for two days a d then back to regular diet. I'm disappointed I may have to have a decompression if I don't get some relief. Any suggestions how to get this band to relax so I can at least get liquids down without the decompression?

I would see about getting a little taken out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
