Do you burp more now that you are banded? (non-productive, just air)

curlysue · 11-02-2008, 07:49 PM

I have been burping non stop for the last couple of months. It started after a fill so I went and had an unfill. I continued to burp so I went back for another unfill but was advised that it was me that was making myself burp (never had this problem before banding) and since I had gained 4 pounds since the unfill, I should get the fill put back in. So I got a fill and I still burp. My husband says I sound like a bull frog! I am fortunate that the burping doesn't happen at night, it starts from the moment I awake. It happens when I drink, when I eat and sometimes it burns. Sometimes I feel like I am gulping air and that is why I am burping, at other times I have no idea why it is happening. It gets exhausting! I am concerned there may be something wrong but my doctor doesn't think so. I have started taking nexium but so far it hasn't done much good (not very consistent with taking it though) Does this ever go away? Can burping and feeling a burning sensation harm the esophagus over time?? HELP! Thanks!

I'm happy to hear you all talking about hiccuping. I have the hiccups several times a day, especially during meals. I thought it was because I was either eating too fast or taking too big bites. I also burp more and it scares me because I never know if it will be a regular burp or pb.
I asked my DR about the hiccups today and he said it wasn't a usual complaint.
