Don't Laugh! MAN-BURPS?!

[MaryRN66 49]

Since having lap band surgery about 6 weeks ago, I've noticed that if I drink my Protein shakes or tea or really anything, I have to burp but it sometimes comes out like a MAN BURP! Seriously!! LOL!! I don't think I've EVER had this type of burping before and I'm a little scared to be around people after I eat because I might sound like a big, hairy old man! OK - it's a little funny but please tell me this is not completely just a ME thing!

P.S. Where ELSE could I pose a question like this other than HERE!!!

I do that as well and I have read where a lot of banders have as well. Mine usually happens as the food is passing through my band. My stomach makes the loudest weirdest sounds at all the wrong times but it is what it is:)

Mary, you are not alone! I don't know if there is rhyme or reason for when I do burp - sometimes after eating, sometimes drinking, maybe sometimes just normal digesting - but I have never sounded like that before! Mine aren't so much loud as they are long. Luckily I have 2 boys who think mom burping is the funniest thing ever! ????
