Burping.. Will it ever end?

[Cwalden 2]

So I have had the band for 10 months now. Great success... but the burping is TERRIBLE! I burp when I'm hungry, I burp while I eat and drink. I burp for no reason. I haven't consumed any carbonated drinks in over a year and I only drink Water and unsweetened tea... STUPID BURPS! I have also kept gas strips with me to see if it helps, but it'll go away and come back in an hour or so. I need suggestions, if any!

Excessive burping comes from swallowing too much air I'm told? Have you spoken to your surgeon or nutritionist? Could be the way you swallow Water or food now? I seldom burp. I hiccup when I'm no longer hungry but burps are rare.

If you have insurance, check out a gastroenterologist?

I have been banded for four months and have the same problem. It was getting so out of control that I had my surgeon remove some Fluid last week which has helped some. I would burp and burp and burp and then get sick and then get a horrid headache... It was no good. I notice sometimes the burping is better than other days and I have not figured out what makes the difference... Hope to hear some solutions. Thanks for posting!

I am 6 weeks out and burp all the time for no reason. Doctor said I may be drinking to fast but it is not even when I am drinking. I am interested if others have some suggestions.

Same. Sometimes the burping helps, other times it causes major discomfort. :-( I have an appointment in a week so I'm hoping I can ask more questions then.

Last time I mentioned it to my doctor he told me not to use straws and to drink much slower. I've tried but I still burp like crazy!!!!
