I still have gas 3 weeks post op...is this normal



Recommended Posts

Hi everone! Can anyone help. Everything I eat or drink, I cannot stop burping. I am falling all the rules, what I am eating, how I am eating, how much I am eating. Then by the end of the day, not only am I still burping, but it is coming out the other end (sorry, I know too much information). And it is painful sometimes.

I figured this would pass by now. 3 weeks is a little crazy. Please, someone tell me if this goes away. Is this normal? Compared to the first 10 days, my gas issues are much better, but how long do I have to live with this.

Thanks! Burp....oops excuse me. :thumbup:

I had terrible gas pains right after surg. It was worst than the surg. The dr finally rx something for me, while in the hospital. When I got out it got better but I still have gas. The dr told me to take the liquid baby gas drops and that works! You can easily carry it in your purse or wherever. I take it in the car, at night, in the morning, after lunch etc. It is the best thing, by the way the off brand works just the same. Hope this helps.:thumbup:

Well I am almost 2 months post op and I am still... 36_11_12.gif that part comes from the Protein. I still have the burping problem too. I have heard people say that it is from eating too fast but even when I eat slow I burp. OH NO...the band has turned us into redneck men!

Hey

I AM 7 WEEKs post op and there is no stopping the gas. its usually happens when you have eaten too fast and your band is trying to work really really fast to keep up with you eating!

its usually a warning sign to slow your eating down I have found it useful. so that is something too look at in a positive light!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR JOURNEY XX

      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. 🤞
