Burping

[QuilterGal 216]

So this may seem like a strange question, but after bypass, do you still burp? Or burp less? Is it painful?

Great question! I bet you do but interested in the answer.

Yes you still burp, at least I still burp. The only time it hurt was during the first few days after my surgery. I find I burp the most after eating Soup and I believe it is because of how I sip the soup off the spoon. I will also burp if I take more of a gulp of Water instead of a small sip.

Yes, I still burp. Burping is something that help me figure out I'm full. If I can't burp, there's no more air, or space in my pouch... So I know to stop.

I also burp when I swallow Water to fast, so burping kind of helps me regulate intake.

Yes you do burp and the first few days after surgery it can be painful. I find I burp more drinking through a straw which you are not supposed to do. (I just had neck surgery so I cannot tilt my head back and am forced to use a straw)

Also if you gulp too much liquid too fast it can cause you to burn and for me even now that can be painful.

Sip, sip, sip is the key.

I don't burp from simply eating nor do I ever get indigestion, reflux or Gerd which used to be a huge problem for me. This is why I chose bypass.
