Air Locked?

I just have to know if anyone else out there gets what I call air locked after the sleeve. Sometimes it feels like I have swallowed I giant gumball of air. I am assuming this means I took too big of a bite or too big of a drink but it seems to be happeneing more and more. Just looking for any direction. I was sleeved on 7/13 and this has really been the only ongoing nuisance so far.

I definitely know what you mean. I found that it happened to me when I took too big a drink or took too many sips too close together. I'm now 6 weeks out and can take bigger sized drinks at one time, but I still have to watch it when I'm feeling thirsty and want to "guzzle".

Yep same here at abut 8 months out, I get the burps and burp a few small burps in a row and it subsides, there are times when I can't talk till I get the gas out. It doesn't happen very often and seems to be more prevalent after a "big" meal that I ate too fast. Of course a BIG meal now is just one small portion.
