Do you burp more now that you are banded? (non-productive, just air)

Burping is my "full signal" too! I don't like it, but since I don't every really have that full feeling anymore, I'm glad my body lets me know when it's time to stop!

OMG - I am a burping machine! It totally moves the food along and helps. It is also a sign to stop!

Have you every been sitting in a quiet room and you start doing inner burps? :eek:

I was just banded Dec. 22 - Tuesday. OMG I have got a burp STUCK... feel like my chest is going to explode! I keep walking around and trying to work it out. Any suggestions??

[rodriguezequal 3]

All I can think of is maybe it's something else...really a burp is just air and shouldn't be able to get stuck...maybe it's reflux or something? I hope you figure it out and it gets better real soon though!

[nebraskahickchi 2]

Well, I didn't mean stuck like... stuck in the band stuck... lol. I just couldn't burp and was having terrible gas pains in my chest and back. Hours later I was finally able to... Hope that doesn't happen too often. :smile:

It's probably from the surgery. lol. Did you get Gas-X Strips? Those really helped me after surgery...It gets better as you heal. Just give it time :smile:

Yes, I have to agree that I burp like crazy, all day long. Regardless if I have just eaten my meal or when I drink my Water. Before banding I would only burp if I was drinking a carbonated drink, now it doesn't matter.

I mentioned this to my doctor and he said its caused by swalling air while you are drinking/eating. I was banded on 11/18/09 and just received my first fill on Wed., 1/6/10

All I can hope for is that I learn to eat slower and take smaller sips. I've been told that it will help.

I burp like a fiend! I hardly ever used to burp - except for a beer or seltzer Water. I burp now after a sip of cold, flat water. I burp while eating...I burp after anytime I put something in my mouth. I also have come close with acid reflux and definitely experience much more 'stomach activity' - juices flowing? I guess. It's ok. :-)

I burp like crazy... especially when I am tight and I have not eaten. I am one of those who has not told anyone about the surgery except for my husband and parents. So I have to get the burping symphony overwith before I get to work or around others!

No! I don't burp at all any more, it seems. I get a soft-stop hiccup, but that's the extent of it.

Now, if you want to discuss intestinal gas....

I just got banded on Tuesday the 26th, and since then I have been burping like crazy! Not like me at all! Sometimes they come when I am not expecting them, and they are super loud, its kind of embarrassing!!! I guess I will have to get used to it, and try harder to control it!!! ha ha!

So I didn't read all 12 pages. I've been banded since last year and have had alot of problems. I vomit alot and now I burp alot and they stink! Anyone else have this problem?
