Burps and Bubbles and Gurgles Oh My!



Recommended Posts

I am 6 days post opp and I want to know WHEN does the gas and bubbles and gurgles go away! I am still on the liquid diet and anytime I drink anything I feel all the gas. It is so uncomfortable! I can't take a swallow without that feeling and literally have people burping me like I'm a baby! When can I expect some relief? Gas X does nothing since it not gas from inside your stomach. Please help!

If you mean the gas pain, then it goes away after a week or two as your body heals and the swelling goes down.

The burping and gurgling might never go away. I'm 10 months out, and still have both, and I've read they might be permanent. But then I guess that's okay because in my case, the burping is my never fail signal to stop eating because I'm full. ;)

Well, it could have been worse, you could have had flying monkeys coming out of your a$$. :)

I, too, had gas pains in the beginning. I found that if I ate slower, it helped.

Still get the burps and gurgles at 7 weeks out. Kind of getting used to them. :)

I am 6 months out and still get the gurgles when I drink fluids. It gets less but im pretty sure we will all have them forever. Not a bad trade off though.

      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. 🤞

      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.
