Hi Pat How long have you had your band? Sounds like it's on the tight side to me if you can't eat ANY meat.
I burp a lot and my band is tight but I had a slight defill a couple months ago or so as I was throwing up almost all solids.
Chips is probably just as well not to eat but meat is supposed to go down if chewed thoroughly! Some meats are easier than others though. x
Nice to meet you

When did u have ur band fitted? The burping would be taking in too much air when u eating hun. How much fill do u have in your band and what size is it ?? Could it be that your restriction is too tight???

Look forward to your reply - Julie xx

Can't give any advice as i have a bypass but just wanted to send you a big hug and hope you get the eating and burping sorted out soon x

banding isnt a easy option, ive had 2 now, meat is a difficult thing for banders to manage and can only be eaten in very small portions, as for chips a bander shouldnt really be making such bad food choices, the band is to restrict what we eat and thats most "nice" things, continuing to make bad food choices will make weight loss slow or stop you will only get out of this what you decide to put in effort wise, also learning to use restriction properly is key.

as the others have asked how long have you had your band and how long have you been having these difficulties, gurgling is very normal for banders, who is your surgeon and are you a private or nhs patient ?
