Hi there, I was told burping and gas are a part of life after banding, so times it's worse than others...so yes it's normal!!!

I call it "musical". LOL!!

I am just really curious, why are you getting fills every 4 weeks??

Me too, what size band and how much have they put in each fill.

I too have much more gas then ever before surgery. Some days it's worse than others. Some days a food will cause more and than another day the same food is ok. Very fickle

I CANT REMEMBER THE CORRECT AMOUNT EACH TIME, BUT TOTAL TO DATE IS 1.7CC, AFTER BEING BAND W/DR ORITZ HE ONLY PUT IN .3CC. I DONT FEEL I HAVE TO MUCH FILL AND IAM LOSING A LITTLE OVER 7 POUNDS A MONTH, BUT I WENT BACK EACH MONTH BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO EAT MORE THAN A CUP OF FOOD AT A SITTING AND I DIDNT FEEL A RESTRICTION. PLUS I DONT HAVE ANYBODY AROUND ME TO TALK ABOUT THIS, OTHER THAN TO READ WHAT ALL YOU GUYS

DISCUSSION. I DONT THINK I WILL BE GETTING ANYMORE FILL FOR AWHILE. MY BAND SIZE IS 4CC. KAREN
