Swallowing air



Recommended Posts

Ok so this is going to sound quite dumb but is anyone else feeling like they are swallowing air when they casually swallow like just your own saliva?

Since yesterday I grew concise of every time I swallowed not food but just my own saliva I suppose. And every time I do it (cause its supposed to happen automatically) but now I am aware every time and do it more than I should. And I am swallowing air! And it's hurting my stomachache! And I can't stop it

If I walk and move around I start burping it out but I just can't stop swallowing air. What is wrong with me?

How far out are you? I had to learn to take smaller bites and close my mouth with each bite, then take a deep breath to make the air come back out. If I eat anything in slush form I still have a small issue. Sleeved 6/8/15

I'm 5 days post op. If I get distracted I swallow like a normal person but if I'm thinking about it I keep taking small bits of air

It doesn't matter if I take small or big bites or swallows - I still swallow air. Right now I think the air is more difficult to get out of my stomach with smaller drinks. At least a moderate drink leaves a bigger air bubble to get out. I don't burp easily though and never have.

They gave me a,special water bottle that only allows small sips at a time. I couldn't drink out of anything for the first 6-7 weeks but that.... I want another one... mold grew in the valve-had to chuck it...

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
