I'm 3 days post op and I have been finding it so hard to be able to drink...everytime I sip anything I'm instantly nauseous and start burping. If anyone else has had this trouble please tell me...and if so, when did it stop for you?

laurenthomp93,

I'm on my 7th day post op and I still burp with almost every sip, and the gas can really be a pain. Luckily for me nausea has not been a symptom of mine very often. I think part of my problem is I don't really know how to sip, I used to down a 24oz (or bigger) drink in one log gulp. My wife has pointed out to me that I suck while I sip, which mean I'm probably getting in lots of air with each sip. We are all different, so you may in fact know exactly how to sip, unlike me, but I just thought I'd try to share...

LOL ... I practiced sipping/swallowing techniques pre- surgery. Take a sip, hold it in mouth, let a little drift back ... and swallow! I still have to burp too! Not a big belch ... just a forced, closed mouth burp. Then I can drink more. This does get better with time. But, still have to burp. Even with food.< /p>

I'm day five, post op. It still haven't gotten it down. Every sip burns and brings more painful gas. I hate drinking anything at this point, though the warmer it is, the easier down it seems to go.

The burning will decrease as the swelling goes down. Hang in there :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
