I burp alot now THe nurse said I'm drinking to fast or eating to fast. It could also be that your diaphram is still alittle pissed off lol. Sipping and eating slower has helped a little. 2 weeks since being banded.

I def. burp a lot more. I have to say, it feels great when I do. It's usually when I've eaten and I can feel that "full" feeling. Then I burp and ahhhhh..... All is well. I know not to eat anymore but I def. feel a sense of peace (for lack of a better phrase). It was very hard to burp right after the surgery and I try not to make myself for fear of putting too much air in me. Great question!

I thought that I'd have trouble with flatulance after surgery (i've heard people who have bypass fart way more after) however I think because i'm eating so much better I guess i probably fart LESS than I did before. Just the burping is consistant. I almost look forward to it now. It's all good.
what is flatulance?

Whats a BURP????

OMG…….. I am so glad that I’m not alone. I use to pass gas that would knock walls down, none of that anymore. I have never been a huge burp person but occasionally I could get a good one out. I have not burped at all since surgery just PB’ing. It sucks sometimes I wish I could just stick a funnel down my throat and other places to help relive the built up gas. GAS X is not my friend either. Good luck ya'll.

I burp all the time now, but they are small and internal and no one can really tell because they are well hidden. I regularly need to get some air up from my stomach and into my pouch but even after small burps, it still seems like i need to do it again. Cold water definitely makes it happen. I also dont drink right before going to bed because you can hear it trickling and gurgling through my system and I need to burp alot. Hiccups are now really common post meals.

All in all, no big deal. :0)

Instant cure for hiccups!!!

I figured this out 30 years ago and when I see people on the street or a plane who have hiccups I tell them how to get rid of them and they are gone within 15 seconds.

The mistake most people make is taking a deep breath and holding it. You need to do the opposite - blow out ALL your air and swallow as many times as you can in a row. If you need to sip a little water to swallow that's fine.

Guaranteed gone in 15 seconds. I think it restricts the throat and that's why it works so well.

Let me know if it works for you!

I am a belching, burping monster that can keep up with the big boys on this! I gross my husband out about every 30 minutes because when I can let them fly it is a lot better than stifling them!

In fact I just did a good one in honor of this post!! LOL
