O.K. weird question. I have not had the surgery yet, but I was watching some YouTube videos of patients who have had VSG and the one woman is still burping like every 1-2 minutes. I had to stop watching her videos, cuz it started to drive me crazy. She's about 10 months out of surgery now and still burping like that - so I thought if it drove me crazy to watch - is that what it's going to be like after the surgery?

Does anyone else who's had the surgery burp that much - even after 10 months?

i'm 4months out and have never had any burping issues. There are a few foods that bother me and cause some burping but i woul say on average i burp less than 3 times a day.

I burped after every swallow for about the first month. Now, not so much--after a meal or if I take a big swallow of liquid. They are small and can be done discreetly. Because our stomachs are smaller, even a little air is uncomfortable and wants to come out. Better up and out than down and out in my opinion!

I think she has problems because she drinks out of straws - which I heard they tell you not to do because you can take in air. So that will probably help me make the decision not to use straws (which I like drinking out of straws now). LOL.
