I am 5 weeks post-op, is it just me or after every meal I need to have burp fest, or if I can't have one it's sounds like my stomach is about to erupt. There is no pain involved but very embarrassing when with company. Is there anything I can do. When does the gurgling tummy end.

I'm three months out and it has not ended yet! I find this issue annoying, agitating, embarrassing, and downright ridiculous. Because for me, its not just when I eat. It's when I drink, eat, don't eat, whem I'm in bed trying to sleep. It just never ends. Also, unlike you, I don't burp outright a lot. I wish the burp will come out, because it would be a release. It stops in my throat and makes these loud ridiculous noices! UGH!

Glad not to be alone. My burp fest is usually by myself, or In front of hubby as it is "medically nessecary" lol. Hope it comes to a end for both of us one day.

Lord knows I hope so also. Sorry about the previous rant, but I just needed to vent about this situation.

Haha, I posted this same question when I was about a month out. I'm 13 months post-op and there are still a lot of times where I end up feeling very burpy after food. You just learn to smile and burp on the inside, lol, and stop eating until the burping subsides.

Too funny!! I too suffer from this attractive affliction. I hope it goes away soon!

3 weeks out and i have the same issue, i have found relief by taking a sip of a carbonated drink its literally a tiny sip but enough to bring on a relieving burp. b/c sometimes that need to burp results in my losing my meal if i cant get relief tmi im sure but i really hate that feeling

I am 4 weeks post op and this has been a major issue for me. All things considered, not a bad complaint, I know lol. But for a girl raised on VERY strict table manners and with the notion that "ladies don't do that...EVER" it has been something that has been bothering me. But all things considered, I will take the burping over some of the other complications others have experienced. Like others, this isn't only happening when I eat, but also when I drink or go too long without eating.

I called my surgeon and they recommended probiotics. So far it seems to be helping
