Hi Sleevers

I'm 4 weeks post-op and ever since the day of my op I have had a horrible strange feeling in the back of my throat like a burp is stuck there. I keep burping to relieve it but it comes back almost immediately.

I am on Lansoprazole and I have suffered with acid problems pre-sleeve but it feels nothing like that.

Anyone else had this? Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi my name is david and i hade my surgery in march and i cant burp anymore

I am 1 week post op. You describe perfectly an issue I have at present. Here is what I have done if you want to give it a try. Sitting upright twist slightly, at your waist only, in either direction. for me that action allows the trapped air to escape. However there have been instances - 20% of the time I guess - where that does not work and the horrible feeling persists. I spoke to my doc and he said we could double the prilosec but he wanted to wait and see over the next 3 - 4 weeks how this goes. He believes it could resolve after fully healed. Since you had acid issues pre-op do you think you have the right dosage on the acid control drug?
