Is Burping okay? I'm having some gas... and I always feel like I need to burp. Once in a while.. I do get a little burp out. Is that good or bad?

Burping is fine, it is so much better than puking, hiccuping or holding the gas in. I never burped in my life before the band, and now I welcome it when I eat too fast.

For me the burps are much bigger and loud and come from deep in my stomach. It's kind of embarassing, I can't make them quiet, but oooh, they feel good.

I wasn't a burper before--but now!!!lol I have to burp, long and loud, or I'm very uncomfortable. I do take Gas-X if it gets too much, it helps a little.

I too have been burping a ton since nbeing banded on the 14th. They seem a little more productive now, meaning I get some relief when I burp. This last week I felt like I had to burp, and all I could get was a little tiny burp here and there even with the gas-x. I never thought I would say how good it feels to burp now, although it seems they always come in 3's LOL! It will be interesting to go back to work tomorrow if i continue burping the way I am now....doesn't matter if I have just eaten ot it's first thing in the AM. I guess it's better than farting or throwing up, and the air has to come out, right?

often when i cant burp i hiccup- then i am scared that i slipped my band!! I take gas x often. if my BF is around he will slap my back which helps!

i am trying so hard to baby my band, not swallow any air, etc. but these hiccups can sometimes not be helped- any suggestions?

It took 8 days for me to burp and boy was it painful not being able to get the air out. I was so excited when I finally had a good one. In fact it is only occasionally when I get a good one up, usually after drinking plain Water, but boy does it feel good!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
