I have been (small burps) burping non stop for about 3 days and now my throat is feeling a litle tight. Is there anything I can do???????? :think

Did you try the gas x... I dont really know for a fact that it helps but I am taking it and I release alot of gas...also...do you have someone to "burp" you. Just like a baby , my hubby would pat my back all around and that seemed to help a TREMENDOUS amount!!! Hope you start to feel better soon. How long since you have been banded? Deanna

This is my first time to this site. I am in the process (Psych eval tomorrow) of getting the lap band. I've been reading posts about gas and this scares me. Do you seem to have excess gas just after the surgery or is it a part of life afterwards? I teach and cannot be having this problem if ya know what I mean? *lol*

The gas won't affect your life or anything it's just annoying at times. When I am really tight right after a fill I feel like I need to burp and can't or can only get out a little one only to need to do it again and it's very frustrating. I will try gas-x next time. As for feeling tight, try something warm to drink. Warmth soothes and opens the stoma which should help the gas release and sooth your throat. I prefer hot honey Water as the honey coats the throat and calmes any irritation.
