So I have to ask....Anyone burping a lot after surgery



Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks post op today and well I feel that I burp a lot more. Sorry, I know that this sounds weird, but I was wondering if anyone else experienced this?

YES....and the bloating in my stomach is so bad until I can burp it up then was sweet relief!

It lessens a little as time goes but it doesn't go away. I was never a champion burper but now I can hang with the boys.

I have the problem of not being ABLE to burp. It is very painful.

Never had a problem before the band, but now, I can hang with the rest of them.

It's almost like the air in my stomach has to get out when replaced with food, so after every couple of bites I need to belch. Luckily, I can keep it under my breath when I'm out in social occasions.

Yes, I burp all the time! I never used to burp and now I could possible belch the alphabet..

Sometimes I have to get up in the middle of the night bc I can feel the air in my stomach.. never fun

DodgerFan - LOL, literally. (And I never say that.) This thread convinces me that I'm in good company -- I've been belching a ton!

I need to go enter burping contests! SERIOUSLY! I would SO win! But at least my hubby understands. The Dr said it might happened so we were prepared but its still not fun sometimes.

Since May 25th, I have not burped at all! I feel like I have to, but it just doesnt come up. But I have that other gas problem. I think I could start trumpeting songs out my butt! :( my son thinks there is low flying geese in the house! lol. I wish I could burp! It might help with the other problem

I also burp after a every few bites or sometimes just by drinking Water. I also get the hiccups when I drink water to fast. My neighbor has 2 teenage boys and now they have some serious competition. :)

I was banded on June 28, 2010 and I'm still burping but like Sweetbriar said "They are different from regular burps" mine is almost like a hiccup with a burp on the end...really weird!!! but I do it quite frequently I've just gotten used to saying excuse me a lot.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
