Bansters who have been banded a while, do you still burp?

[headin_to_mxico 0]

Im newly banded and everytime I eat or drink I have to belch a HUGE belch. Its so embarrassing, but theres no way I could hold it in. I cant imagine ever going out to dinner again if it continues, or else Im going to have to get really good at quietly burping. These are like HUGE SALOR burps that would make my brother proud. Please tell me this is a temp thing?!:smile:

Ooooo me too, I am 4 months out and about 30 min after I eat I can tear the roof off with mine!!

Since surgery, I never ever burp like a boy anymore. Instead, I have tiny little almost inaudible (almost) little burps while eating.

I take it as an indicator that I need to slow down and chew better - it sometimes helps.

I am 7 mo out and used to burp a lot more and bigger for a few months after. Now my burps are smaller and often come with food (lol). You will learn to eat and swallow differently to trap less air.

HA HA! It's been two and a half years, and depending on what I have eaten, or even as a signal that I am full, I do burp a little. It doesn't sound very nice, but at the same time it is a tool to stop before a PB or stuck episode happens-which aren't pleasant, as we all know.

I burp more than I used to...but usually it's tied to eating too fast. The mere thought horrified me preband, but now I don't care. I don't belch in public and have never horrified myself and my companions LOL It's worth it for the band, IMHO.

Youre so lucky! I cant controll mine! They are huge belches that would make any man envious. Whenever I eat I get so much gas trapped and I just feel so full and then out of nowhere they just come out. I could be mid sentence or word and BUURRP! It actually scared the crap out of me the first few times it happend, but now I just expect to know it will happen within twenty min of eating. I think as I get used to these new feelings I will be able to controll it better. Or figure out how to trap less gas when I eat. I feel like an infent who needs a good burping after every meal. At least I dont spit up.......yet. I guess I shouldnt talk too soon before my first fill. :cool2:

That will get better as your band settles down and your stomach and digestive tract get over being ticked at you for messing with them! :cool2:

Although I do burp more after each fill, for a while. Apparently I do because now my "beloved" precious husband will BELCH and then look at me and say "I have new restriction" LOL :smile: And no, he does NOT have a band. He just copies me when it suits him. :wub:
