Puja 148 Posted December 27, 2011 Blackanese, how and where exactly are you patting? Use the palm of your hand, and pat gently just below your sternum. Sometimes it helps to rub up and down as well. That little burp really is a huge relief! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sychadelic 10 Posted December 27, 2011 It took me months after surgery to be able to burp again, and I wasn't told of any problems, so I'm not sure what the deal was. All I cab say is good luck and hope you find relief soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackanese25 160 Posted December 28, 2011 im just patting my chest on my rib cage so i will try a little lower and see if that helps.. the docs said i had a hiatal hernia that they fixed in my esophogus..anyone else have that done... i think thats why i can't burp.. ugh but yes that little burp would be soooooooooooooo tremendous.
