Belching after a complete unfill ?
I was never even able to audibly belch before banding. Afterward I sounded like a dang freight train! The band's so close to the diaphragm... causes you to get hiccups, burps, etc. Don't feel humiliated. I'm sure you're not the first patient who has had this happen!
How are you feeling after the unfill?

Thanks Nic, I'm feeling the same unfortunately . I'm sure the damage is done. My port has ripped lose from my muscle wall and is causing pain but I'll add it to the list of problems as I try to figure out options to get this thing taken care of without my insurance giving a care. But hopefully the blood spitting up will stop . Thank you for responding and caring !
I wish I could burp! My band has been empty since at least October , not sure when exactly since I had gone for an unfill and there was nothing to take. I've been progressively having problems for 2years now and yesterday my doc said we are taking it out and revising to the sleeve. Be on your doc, listen to what they say, go to the support groups. They will listen if you're trying and fighting.
My dr took the rest of my fluid out today... 5 ccs and as soon as he pulled it out I involuntarily and unexpectedly let out a large belch. I was humiliated and it came out of nowhere but it keeps on happening all evening . Has anyone experienced this craziness ....
That sounds like it's from inflammation. Even if you have fluid removed (or added) it's messing with your stoma just a bit and inflammation means belching like a big dog!!!
