Burping and Flatulence Post-OP

[Sparx 1]

I had surgery on 3/13 (today is 3/17)

Is it normal to have frequent burping and flatulence after the operation? The pain isn't too bad, I've removed my pain pump, and stopped taking pain meds. But I want to make sure that the other symptoms are normal.

Thanks!

Hi, I had that for 2 weeks after and it seem to get a lil better everyday I was banded 2/27 and still have it occasionally. Its a good thing, you are getting out all of the anesthesia and air they pumped in during surgery. If the gas gets painful, walk walk, walk

Same problems here. I take two to three gas x chewable tables daily and try to walk it off as much as possible.
