Burps post op

[Ghstbstrgrl 13]

Hello!

I am 9 days post op and have the burps a lot. When will this subside? Also, I'm having pains in my abdominal muscles around an incision on my left side, is this normal? My stomach was removed from my right side.

You may have to get use to the burps LOL. I burp way more now than I ever did before. Thankfully it's tapered off. I actually have more of a hiccup issue after eating now than before. It can be normal, I had some muscle pain post-op since they do cut through your stomach, nerves are weird and can cause pain even in areas that were undisturbed. Just keep and eye on it and communicate with your surgeon to make sure they are aware.

My surgery was yesterday and I'm in agony only from the gas. Feels stuck in my chest and I can't burp . I wish I burped so I wouldn't be in this pain

If you haven't tried them yet, Gas-X strips or chewable tablets worked wonders for me.

Sally, it will be a little while before they subside. Gas x and walking are excellent for the gas. Also, make sure your taking small sips so you are not taking in too muck air.

I'm almost 1 month out (sleeved 2/9) and get the burps, but not as bad now and getting better every day. Good luck and congratulations!
