Gas

Just a quick question for you newbies out there...I'm 5 days post op...does this burping and other unmentionables ever go away? I drink ANY thing and burp burp burp. I never have been a gassy person so this is taking a little getting used to!

Thank everyone!

Hey Megan!!!

Congrats on your Banding!!! well the burping and unmentionables from the gas they use to blow up your tummy goes away...BUT i have weird burps now that i NEVER had before. i was banded the same day as a girl i met online and she has the weird burps too. they are deeeeeep burps you can kinda stifle them so they arent really loud. i completely grossed out my brother. he thinks girls shouldnt burp or ... and him being my brother i knew it would freak him out if i could burp louder than him so i did...hehe they are burps that come after dinner like when the food is going down.

Any other Burping Bandsters???

I had really PAINFUL burps the first two weeks - they weren't loud, but they hurt.

I didn't make any particularly memorable noises after that until my first fill. Then I "gurgled" for a week or two, and then that went away except on tight mornings while I ate/drank.

With this last fill (#4), I am making very loud weird gurgley noises, kind of like a slow drain that gets a good suck down every once in a while. Then I have a series of silent but rapid burps once or twice a day.

Not having gas problems from the other end, though, thank goodness!
