I had surgery on Thursday and have been recovering fairly quickly except for the constant hunger pains. I have upped my protein and am getting 80 grams of protein each day and at least 50-60oz fluids. The one thing that seems not to be going away is the burping. It is EPIC! Not productive - no vomit burbs, or vurps. Could this still be the gas from surgery? Or is this something I am going to have to deal with forever as foods slide into my stomach from my pouch, displacing hunger gases or something? It happens all the time, whether I've just ingested something or not, and seems to actually happen more if I am upright. Thoughts, anyone?

It eventually goes away or slows down considerably. I don't burp as often anymore, but I do hiccup 3x once I'm full.

I have had some epic belches. It happens like if I bend over or lean over. It feels so good! Nothing comes up with it, but I feel less bloated after. The first time I did it my husband just stared at me in awe. I am three weeks post op.

Right after my surgery I had a lot of gas , and my doctor explained to me that it was because in order to make some room during the surgery they blow you up with air.

So now... the air is coming out.

It is not a pretty image ... but it helps you understand.

I still burp 2 months out, but it's not that extreme, usually after I eat. I could totally win a burping contest now hahaha.

and yea the blow up your tummy during laparoscopic surgery hence the air.

I'm still belching a lot, nothing comes up with it but it does make me feel so much better.

Oh God I wish I could burp like that. My gas stays trapped up and causes alot of discomfort and pain. I take bean-o but it doesn't seem to work. So for those of you who can burp...you're lucky!!!

I am two months out and burp when I am full. It is something I've had to get use to!

I have overcome the burping and moved on to passing gas, just "tooting" along, I hope this gets under control soon....geez loiuse!!!

I am 3 days post op and I have a horrible time burping! I feel like I need to and I feel that it will make me feel better if I did. But I just can't make it happen. I am still so bloated! The pressure is unbearable at times!!!!

OMG the first month after surgery I was amazed at how long and loud I could burp (came up from the toes). That has all subsided now, thankfully. Now that I'm pretty restricted, I just have the non-stop gurgling! I appreciate a noisy restaurant these days

I am 2 years out, and still burp a lot, especially as I begin eating and after...

I'm 4 days out... LOL... I JUST told my son that I'd give GOOD MONEY to be able to let out a burp 'like I used to do'.... i'ts killing me that it's all just stuck in there :mad3:

I burp when I "eat." Seems like it happens as the pouch empties.

I'm only a week out though.

I wouldn't count on the gas going away! I'm definitely a tooter. Boy after my fill, I don't know why, but I was like a balloon that somebody just let the air out of. I was flying all over the house. I apologized to the family, but they, too, just stared in disbelief. What the heck . . . they want a skinny Mom, don't they? They can't have their gas and pass it too!
