Hiatal hernia and not burping??



Recommended Posts

Any long term banders with HH repair: I've been reading that once you have this repair, that burping is no longer possible?? Is this true?? I feel if I could just get one good burp in, I would feel great ( 8 days postop) and the thought of it NEVER happening freaks me out

You'll be able to burp again.

You're probably feeling pressure from the air they pump in during surgery. That air is in your abdominal cavity, not your digestive system, that's why you can't burp it up.

Walking is the best way to help your body reabsorb the air faster. A heating pad can help ease the discomfort too.

I have the same problem (2 days post op) and my doc told me there won't be any burping for a while. I feel like a burp would make me feel SP MUCH BETTER :(

Did you have hiatal hernia repair also?? I was reading on a hernia forum and that's what they were saying. I sure hope not!!!

I had the HH repair, as well. Took 3 or 4 days to burp. You will!

I have had several really small burps, but my body tries constantly, and it feels like it just gets pushed back down and that hurts and then it immediately goes right to my left collar bone where the pain is constant

I had an HH repair and I have been burping alot--not that I want to! Every time I burp, it hurts and then hurts in my left shoulder so it is not a pleasant experience. My shoulder pain is not constant though...comes and goes. Keep walking, take Gas x and put the heating pad on your shoulder. My heating pad has been on for 6 days straight! My tummy is still quite sore but most gas pain is gone thank goodness.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
