Gas and Gurgles

[ladylaura 77]

I'm in my 3rd week post-op and just wondering how long the burping and such lasts? Everytime I swallow something I drink or eat, my throat gurgles and I burp. It's getting embarrassing

Does it stop soon I hope?

Are you having acid reflux? I started taking prilosec at about 2-3 weeks and it really helped with the burping and gurgling. Also maybe give Gas-X strips a try?

I am almost 8 months out, and I still burp (quite loudly sometimes also) when I eat and drink, generally it is my 'full' signal. I'm not sure when it stops, it can be embarrassing!

I do, but I've been taking Prilosec and took 2 today lol The gurgling everytime I swallow is annoying and loud! My husband will look over at me when it happens and raise an eyebrow LOL

Wow ... What I have to look forward to ...

I was about to post on the same thing!

I take a couple of drinks = BURP!

Eat a couple of bites = BURP!

take gasx = BURP!

walk around = BURP!

Geez, I really hope this will calm down before I gotta get up in front of a class again!

I am two weeks out and have not had burping. The stomach gurgling is a definite yes. I take prilosec as well. I think it is just your body adjusting. My biggest problem has been the Protein Shakes causing major stomach cramping. I guess each of our bodies react differently.

I get the stomach cramping with the shakes too. I'm going to try to put a banana or something in it too and see if it helps it. Anything at this point lol

I dont really burp, sometimes I wish I could, but I have terrible gurgling sounds. It embarrasses me so much especially when I am around people that don't know I had surgery. The ones that do know I have explained to but they say they can't hear it but I think they are being nice. The ones that don't know haven't said anything.

It's not just when I eat and drink its at any time. I take Prilosec and the chewable gas-x plus sometimes rantidine (acid reducer). It's ridiculous. Sometimes I feel like my whole esophagus & stomach is a big open pipe with bubbles running up and down and sideways.

I am on day 14.... I ate an egg today & the gurgling won't stop. I feel like there is air in my esophagus & it's not pleasant! Is this how u feel?

[ladylaura 77]

Yes! And it's loud lol
