Swallowing to much air!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! This is my first post. I am 3 days post op and am down 23 lb. 15 on my pre-op diet and 8lbs since surgery. I am doing great so far, except for the fact is that I am swallowing wayyyy to much air and burp it back up constantly. And as most of you know it hurts!.. I have suffered from GURD for 15 years prior to surgery and am just realizing with this surgery that I had swallow air as a reflex against heart burn irritation. Any body got a suggestion to stop this nasty habit?

Welcome! Maybe try smaller sips. Also I noticed it depends on how close together I sip that also gives me air. What I had to do was take a mouthful of liquid and then slowly sip that down (in many sips).

If I try to sip each individual sip straight from my cup, I get lots of air. Hope this helps.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
