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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
