I am four months out and I burp all the time, usually after I eat or drink. I have heard of others that burp a lot too. I am interested in hearing what other respones you have.

I am 11 days post op- I burp too-I think it is when my pouch is telling me to stop eating which is usually after 4 oz of liquid. It is normal-so don't worry:)

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.. I had somehow gotten it in my head that burping was really, really bad for the band, and was really freaking out with the amount of burping I've been doing since the surgery.

burping is normal...my "overload" of it has went away lol

I seem to have the OPPOSITE problem. I can't burb anymore. i have these weak attempts to burp but it just sounds like I am breathing hard.

I fear the only way I was able to burp was from soda. Now that I can't drink soda...will I never burp again!!?

I too seem to be burping alot, but its not a normal burp. It feels like it should when its still in my belly but it can't seem to actually get through the band.?. I'm not sure how else to describe it. Its like it gets stuck in the stoma and can't actually make it out, its pretty uncomfortable but a few deep breaths seems to clear it out and all is better. I've only had a handful of acutal burps, and frankly they were heavenly. I'm hoping its just because everything is still a little swollen.

lexysmommy - I feel the exact same way....luckily...I'm able to burp more everyday...because for me, it kind of hurts when the air doesn't make it all the way up!

I burp all the time. It feels good. I burp every time I drink Water.

When I need to burp and I can't, it's quite annoying. I heard once that burping is a good sign of restriction.

Im officially a week out and I thought it was only me. My burping is crazy, but have to force all if them...is that normal? Im on Clear Liquids for 1 more week, does it get easier when you move to mushies? God I hope so. With all the stomach growling and the gas, im struggling.

Hey Kimmee -

I think in the beginning alot of the burping is to release all the gas that was in your abdomen while doing the surgery laporoscopically. The surgeon tries to take most out - but I know in my case, my belly looked pregnant after surgery because of alot of trapped gas!

I actually think of it as a blessing - better "up" than "down"... and better to burp it out than stay gassy :eek:

Oh girl, I'm with ya! Though these last two days I've been eating refried beans....LOL Not good....but damn they are delicious!!!

I didn't burp a lot at first. I Hiccupped. Now, when I eat or drink and I burp it is the most un-lady-like sound I have ever heard. It sounds like I just chugged and entire pitcher of Beer. I could enter a contest. Its gross.....

I found this thread after I searched for "burping." Pheww... I am feeling a little better about my situation. I am almost 4 months out and have had great restriction for the last month. Anyways, I am burping like a crazy fool! It never hurts, actually feels better, but I burp so much. I was afraid that it was doing damage to my band, but from what I have read, it doesn't seem that way.

Has anyone else had hiccups a lot too? Somedays I will get them like 3 or 4 times a day and they hurt! I try to hold my breath to get rid of them, but sometimes I just have to wait them out!

So, the consensis (sp?) is that burping is not bad, right? I know its common after the surgery, but I am 4 months out, so its still "normal" to burp this much now too?

Thanks for the help!
