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.

I'm hoping it will get better. I guess I still have a lot of healing to do. Thanks for your reply.

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!;)

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.

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 :)

i was banded on 10/18, and i went back to work yesterday for 4 hours. i had the same feeling and boy was it uncomfortable. then after i started getting out, driving, etc., i started burping from my feet :).

today has got to be the worse, i am burping every 5 minutes. i have never been so happy to burp in my life.

it will happen.

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.

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!).

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.

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhahahaha! Same here! 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!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
