uxbus5 0 Posted October 23, 2007 I was banded on Oct 16 and everything seems to be going fine except for the fact that I can't burp. Sounds petty but I feel the need and if I try I do this strange hiccup and it really hurts. This happens all day. Just wondering if any one feels like this.

uxbus5 0 Posted October 23, 2007 I'm hoping it will get better. I guess I still have a lot of healing to do. Thanks for your reply. Bekkie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ms.diva 0 Posted October 23, 2007 Hang in there!!! We got banded on the same day. My New B-DAY!! Although, I still dont have gas but I understand the pain. Walk, Walk, Walk, No matter how much it hurts...keep walking..it helps...and drink peppermint tea. Have someone give you lotsa back rubs. It diffuses the gas...Hope you feel better.Hugs and kisses!

lovekatz1975 1 Posted October 23, 2007 I had the same feeling. Now I'm always burping, when I eat something, when I drink something... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetforlife 0 Posted October 23, 2007 I was banded in August...I had a hernia repair and could not burp for about two weeks....this shall pass during the healing process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJB-FW 0 Posted October 24, 2007 I was banded October 28th and couldn't burp until last weekend. It gets better. I am beginning to eat too much though. I will be glad when I get my first fill in November. NJB-FW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kele_Kana 0 Posted October 24, 2007 I was banded on the 13th and I'm still not 100% free of exactly what you're talking about (and I still haven't burped!). BUT, it is almost 100% bearable, I just kinda pause and wait it out...no big deal. I just kept moving/walking like everyone on here suggested and it got better as each day passed. It was PAINFUL in the beginning...scary, but normal...and Gas-X didn't work for me and hardly anyone I spoke to (it's not that kind of gas). It'll pass...promise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BRANDYK 0 Posted October 24, 2007 I was like that at the beginning, it was like a burp kinda snuck up on me and it was a hiccup burp. I don't have that happen nearly as much, but I've never really gone back to what I would call normal burping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have that happen nearly as much, but I've never really gone back to what I would call normal burping. Hiccup burp! Precisely! Never exactly new how to explain it, but yes...that's what I still have to this day. I'm a little disappointed to hear you haven't gone back to normal burping. Booooo...is it weird for me to admit that I love when I get a nice burp out? So many times I've wished I could just get a swig of some Coke or Sprite to help me along, but I know we're not supposed to (oh man I miss that stuff!).

BRANDYK 0 Posted October 24, 2007 LOL!!! Wanna hear something really sad? The reason I hate not being able to burp is I used to be able to burp like a trucker!!! I would belch and then my boyfriend would try to beat me and NEVER could, lol!! Now he rubs it in my face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I keep telling me husband, after a failed burp, that "I used to be so good!" He'd just laugh and relish in the fact that he's better than me now. Boo to him!!
