Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I had surgery may 19,2014. Everything went well but I still have a lot of burping. Has anyone else experienced this? What could I do too prevent it?

I'm 7 months post-op and still dealing with the excessive uncontrollable burping. I think that's one of the biggest negatives that I've experienced after surgery lol, it's so embarrassing.

Aside from something like Gas x, not sure! It's a common problem.

lot of burping.

awwwwww man, was that YOU i just heard :lol:

some/many/most people burp or have a runny/sneezing nose

this happens when your cute little tummy starts/gets full :)

it can be embarrassing, but if this is the worst thing that ever happens to you...........

i didn't realize i would burp so often/and loud when i came home from hospital

one day hubby was in other room, and he heard my extra loud burp (you probably did too!! :lol: )

he kindof came running in the room and we had a good laugh

(i was a little sore, so he laughed more for the both of us!!! :lol: )

at 2.5 years PO, i sometimes still have a good burp or two :o

but i don't think theres anything that can prevent the situation ;)

get used to it while you are losing weight, and whistle while you "have" to shop for new clothes :)

good luck

continued speedy recovery

I'm a little over a year and a half out and burping and stomach gurgles have become my new normal!

After a meal if I am able to get away I take a 15 minute "burp walk" to work out the gas privately.

I'm 4 weeks out and burp a lot after meals. The first burp is usually my signal to stop eating so I don't really mind it. I just cover my mouth and try to keep it quiet. :)

I'm 3 years out and have the burping sounds still. It has gotten better with time but still does happen. You get used to it and as time goes by they decrease.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
