Mizzoupoodle Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi everyone!!! I was banded yesterday at the OCC and wanted to take a minute and thank everyone on the forum for their support and kindness. I was super nervous before coming and really just had to force myself not to think of it all, lol. I came alone and so far I have managed fine. Everyone at the OCC was very kind and I think I am doing ok. I was wondering if anyone else burped (not productively just a small one) the day after surgery?? I have burped several times today and I guarantee you I am following directions. I called the OCC and the receptionist checked with the doctor and said not to worry. Of course, I am still worried. I SO don't want to mess up my chance!! I am also happy to report I lost 10 pounds on the pre-op diet, it was nip and tuck there, lol!!! Thanks again!!!!

karenlynn79 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Congrats!! I am pretty sure I burped right away as well. If it's not painful I wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMichelle Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I burped many many times in those first few days, some people expell the gas from surgery that way... Congrats on being banded and on the 10lbs, it only gets better from here!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
