Belching and gas

[Branmuffin 190]

I'm almost 10 weeks post sleeve now and although I hadn't realized it until my husband commented on it, I no longer have issues with monstrous belches or gas. I can't even make myself burp like I previously could to alleviate the stomach gases. Anyone else have these results? I'm guessing its because I'm not scarfing down food and I'm also not eating much raw veggies yet.

Yeah I've seen a huge decline in mine as well.

I'm looking forward to this! Right now I could peel paint off walls.

I am 10 weeks out and I can't burp anymore. I try but I just can't. I feel air in my tummy, and it open my mouth you can hear all kinds of strange noises.

Hmmm... well I'm 3.5 years out. I do still burp and (well, have gas) lol!! In time I guess my stomach has gotten a bit bigger. Not much mind you. I can eat about 3.4 oz of meat depending the density and maybe 5 bites of something else and I'm content. And I burp afterward.

I do remember having a strange sound coming from my stomach and my esophagus for the first year though. Like a kind of gurgling, but it went away in time.

Good luck!

I'm definitely not complaining its just something new to get used to. At times it was a relief to burp and now the fact that I can't even make myself is just different. Lol no burping contests for me!

Oh no worries I didnt think youre complaining. I just think ots a funny subject. You're not the first and won't be the last. I just wanted to say it gets better over the years. CHEERS and welcome to the losers bench!

At 3 months post op I found that I now have small burps instead of big belches. I still have gas but not nearly like I used to.
