Why do I BURP soooo much?

[sensy 0]

When I drink or eat anything I burp these little burps over and over and over. I don't burp at all unless I eat or drink. I am driving everyone nuts, but I can't help it. Why is this happening?

My situation is exactly like yours. I burp repeatedly after eating or drinking anything. I have meetings at work at lunch time and have to be very careful to control myself!

It is most likley because you are swallowing more air now than you were prior to being banded. Pay special attention when you chew and swallow - you will find its hard not to swallow air when you are swallowing such tiny amounts of food. That might be the issue.

Sometimes after I eat I get huge, loud hickups. It's so embarrasing at work, but they're getting used to it.

HI,

My hiccups are really loud and uncontrollable at times too, it is really embarrassing at work. I am a fleet allocator so I am constantly talking to the truck drivers over a UHF, it's so embarrassing when you're trying to give a job out, but can't stop the hiccups!

I never was one to burp or let out a "tweek" (fart) before I had this surgery. I even had a stomach doctor tell me that I needed to burp and "tweek" but I told him that I just can't. I don't even know how to burp! Now, that doctor would be so proud of me! LOL! Does anyone but me have soooo much gas? Thank goodness they aren't the stinky ones! LOL!

I am with all of you as well. Always when I eat or drink I must belch. I also sometimes get violent hiccupburps--if thats even possible. They are like inhaling air & than hiccuping a burp & it happens repeatedily & very fast & for a decent period of time. those are the worst. I just try & relax & hope they pass quickly.

At least it isn't constant farting like me! COULD BE WORSE!

i burp all the time.. like you.. they are little burps over and over again after i drink or eat.. even if I drink just a sip... but me i dont care what anyone thinks.. we are all human bodily gases and all!!!

I sometimes get little burps WHILE eating. Like, I'll feel some food kind of "catch" and I'll burp and then it goes down fine. I think burps are just a part of the band.

I also fart WAY more than I ever have. It's bizarre. But just a fact of life with the band. GasX does help some if I take it constantly.

Well I was quite gassy before surgery....but Sweet Jesus, look out! I burp constantly after I eat, and the other....well, lets just say it aint pretty. Thank goodness I am single.

I never had the gas pains after surgery, but i woke up from anesthesia and the first think i did was burp. The nurse (male) told me I burp like a man, I roamed the halls in recovery burping as much as I could... it was such a help AND quite amusing to the staff, I might add!

My family tells me to STOP burping I can't help it. Only after I drink and eat, never burpped this much before banding...
