Polly Pocket 83 Posted January 19, 2018 I am 11 days post-op. I believe that all of the gas from surgery is now gone. I still seem to burp a lot. And it's loud. Is this normal? Do i have to learn to live with this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LELH 72 Posted January 20, 2018 My BFF is 8 months out and when I asked her about the burping she said "yes! Welcome to your new normal!" I'm only 4 days out so burping is my greatest joy right now. My guess is that there isn't room in the sleeve for food and air, thus the burps! 2 Seahawks Fan and ZaylaEmora24 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angie's_Ocean 213 Posted January 20, 2018 I’m almost 3 months out. When I eat anything past 2-3 oz. I start belching like a trucker! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] my husband thinks it’s hilarious but I’m just worried we’ll go out for dinner or have company and I won’t be able to control it! 3 Apple203, Biddy zz 🏳️🌈 and etc. etc. etc. reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaleAnn 16 Posted January 20, 2018 Be glad you burp. It helps the food move down your stomach. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Linear❤️ 3 Posted January 20, 2018 I envy your belching lol! I’m still on baby burps ... 4 days post op Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bansheeflyer 10 Posted January 20, 2018 I've been belching, but not any more than before my surgery. I burp more out of the backside, but knew I would as that is a side effect of the duodenal switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molly23 275 Posted January 21, 2018 I belch like a trucker but I did before surgery so maybe I'm not the best example lol. I do notice that it's harder to do quietly or hide. It's much more painful to hold it in. I'm 9 months post op and I need to take 3-4 gas-x most days because the gas on the other end is uncontrollable when I have it. That might be my only negative thing since surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
