I'm now 25 months out from surgery, but ever since I had it I've had something similar to burps that come out of my stomach, but they're not burps - it's more like air escaping from my stomach through my mouth. It happens 3-4 times a day, and I can generally control it. My boyfriend describes it as "it sounds like you're giving birth to aliens through your mouth." :lol:<_<

It doesn't bother me at all (it's kind of funny), just wondering if I'm alone in this.

All the burps I have (and there are LOTS of them!) are real-live, honest-to-goodness burps....nothing fake or "pseudo" about any of them. LOL

Might be what I call "throat gurgles". Sounds like a burp, but is more just like a noise that my esophagus is doing. It can be pretty loud sometimes. I'm in a lot of meetings most days and I often have to explain - "It's just a noise I make." DH claims it wakes him up some nights.

I had it with my lapband too. I called it "gurgling" back then, but now I make a new noise that better fits "gurgling" so the moniker shifted.

I'm not nearly as far out as you, but I have this too. It sounds like it comes from right underneath my sternum. I haven't gotten back to work yet, but I'm hoping that it will eventually settle down a little.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
