Rude Question, sorry

[Morrigan 0]

Hi,

I am several days out from my surgery. April 6 is when I had it. I am having some discomfort when I hiccough or burp. I am trying to drink without adding air to my stomach. However I feel this is a totally losing battle as I have sleep apnea and I'm sure I get full of air every single night. My partner had the same surgery last year but has no real trouble either hiccoughing or burping? I'm not terribly concerned yet but my partner is a tad concerned.

Am I the only one with this issue post -operative? I would massage my stomach to move the air around but even touching it is really painful still.

Just looking for some feedback or comforting words of wisdom if anyone has any.

Thanks.

I also have sleep apnea and had that problem post-op. I tried the dissolving Gas-X and it worked great. Good Luck!

I too had the same issue, it seems like for a few weeks. It let up after a while.

I still hiccup pretty hard when I get a little too full.

Thats not a rude question at all From what I have read on here from all the post-ops on here, burping is very normal. If you feel like its hurting more than normal or something like that then you should definitly call your doc office. Good Luck!

I'm having a similar problem, my doctor just told me to go and purchase gas-x. I hope that helps.

Me and my sister where sleeved on April 6 as well and we both find that walking realy helps with the gas right after surgery my left should and chest realy hurt from all the air they but in but as soon as I started walking it started feeling better. The more you walk the more air you can get rid of also have you lost alot of weight before your surgery your pressure on your CPAP may be a little too high now. I am a resgistered sleep tech and a registered respiratory therapist I have worked with sleep apnea pts for over 5 yrs if you have any questions about the CPAP I may be able to help.
