Recommended Posts

Hi, I was sleeved a week ago 5/13/16 - I am recovering well, my concern is when will these burps stop? Any advice welcomed! Thanks!

No idea, since there are a variety of reasons you could be burping.

It could be that since you're still healing, your stomach is producing gas that causes burps.

It could be acid reflux. (but most docs put you on PPI drugs for the first month or so to ward this off)

It could be you're drinking things too fast and swallowing air which will come back up as burps.

It could be your signal that you need to stop eating/drinking (that's my "full" signal and I know stop as soon as I start burping).

Suggest you ask your doctor if it is very concerning!

Burping for me has become a after every meal event they can go on for up to 2 hours after eating I'm getting really over it I'm almost 9 weeks out it doesn't matter how little I eat I still get them my surgeon said to eat slower it doesn't help. I'm hoping they go away too

OK, I am 1 year post and still burp like a monster! Especially when I eat something that I shouldn't ????. I have no idea when or if this will stop. I would suggest speaking to your nutritionist to get a better understanding of the cause.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
