Hi guys!! I am about 5 weeks post op and doing well, Ive lost 15 pounds post op so far, but I am gassy all the time. Ever since my surgery I have burped up gas/air constantly. There is a difference between PBing and just burping up air right? I have not had anything come up at all when I burp, I just seem to burp a lot and always have the feeling of needing to burp. Is this normal? If I go without food in my stomach I feel a bit nauseous and have gas pain and burp, burp, burp... Its weird. Do you think my band placement is OK? I haven't even had a fill yet. Any input would be appreciated.

Yes, i do... Its weird pain that's under my right beast bone, I feel like its a gas but I don't know for sure. I have the same thing going on as you do... Hopefully we will get some possible answers on here.

There is a difference in PB and burp...a PB you actually burp up food a regular burp would just be air..

Now the question I have is when do you burp? Is it all the time or only while eating? cuz if it is while eating that could be your "soft stop" your bodies way of telling you to stop eating.

I burp ALLLLLL the time!  It has become quite annoying actually lol....Im constantly saying "excuse me" .  Im kinda thankful that I can burp though because Ive read on here that some people feel the need to burp but cant....that would drive me crazy. 

I also get that nauseous feeling if I havent eaten anything but that happened to me even before I got the lap band.  My body is strange like that....all I need is a tiny bit of anything...gum, a sip of a drink, one bite of something and my nausea would always go away.  So, that is no different for me now that I am banded...but, the burping definitely is.
