What's with all the burping?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on Thursday and have been recovering fairly quickly except for the constant hunger pains. I have upped my Protein and am getting 80 grams of protein each day and at least 50-60oz fluids. The one thing that seems not to be going away is the burping. It is EPIC! Not productive - no vomit burbs, or vurps. Could this still be the gas from surgery? Or is this something I am going to have to deal with forever as foods slide into my stomach from my pouch, displacing hunger gases or something? It happens all the time, whether I've just ingested something or not, and seems to actually happen more if I am upright. Thoughts, anyone?

I have had some epic belches. It happens like if I bend over or lean over. It feels so good! Nothing comes up with it, but I feel less bloated after. The first time I did it my husband just stared at me in awe. I am three weeks post op.

Right after my surgery I had a lot of gas , and my doctor explained to me that it was because in order to make some room during the surgery they blow you up with air.

So now... the air is coming out.

It is not a pretty image ... but it helps you understand.

I still burp 2 months out, but it's not that extreme, usually after I eat. I could totally win a burping contest now hahaha.

and yea the blow up your tummy during laparoscopic surgery hence the air.

Oh God I wish I could burp like that. My gas stays trapped up and causes alot of discomfort and pain. I take bean-o but it doesn't seem to work. So for those of you who can burp...you're lucky!!!

I have overcome the burping and moved on to passing gas, just "tooting" along, I hope this gets under control soon....geez loiuse!!!:P

I am 3 days post op and I have a horrible time burping! I feel like I need to and I feel that it will make me feel better if I did. But I just can't make it happen. I am still so bloated! The pressure is unbearable at times!!!!

OMG the first month after surgery I was amazed at how long and loud I could burp (came up from the toes). That has all subsided now, thankfully. Now that I'm pretty restricted, I just have the non-stop gurgling! I appreciate a noisy restaurant these days :)

I burp when I "eat." Seems like it happens as the pouch empties.

I'm only a week out though.

I wouldn't count on the gas going away! I'm definitely a tooter. Boy after my fill, I don't know why, but I was like a balloon that somebody just let the air out of. I was flying all over the house. I apologized to the family, but they, too, just stared in disbelief. What the heck . . . they want a skinny Mom, don't they? They can't have their gas and pass it too!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
