Stuck feeling and weird shallow burp



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm about 10 days post op and 4th day on phase 2.

Since surgery I've felt like there's something stuck in my throat. Saw my surgeon a week after and he said that's normal and can last up to a month.

Does anyone else have it or had it?

Also for the past 4-5 months I've had this weird shallow burp/hiccup. When it started I had the band and they kept taking Fluid out thinking the issue was caused by the band being too tight. After the band was completely emptied it slipped but went up instead of down. Had it removed. Before that I had an endoscopy, then an esophagus test where they put a tube up my nose and down into my throat to check the motility of my esophagus. All these tests showed nothing.

My surgeon thought maybe I had scar tissue from my original lap band surgery and hernia and that he would take care of it during my sleeve surgery and it would be gone. WRONG! I now am still in pain from the sleeve surgery....still have those annoying horrible throat burp/hiccups and yesterday I tried eating a small piece of fish and was vomiting and dry heaving so bad I thought for sure I popped internal stitches. I'm at my wits end! Anyone have/had any of these problems and can maybe shed some light?

Only positive is that I've lost a lot since I either can't eat or afraid to. Negative is I'm probably not getting anywhere near enough food, liquid or Vitamins.

Hopeless and regretting surgery.

I had the stuck feeling. Mine showed up after a bout of thrush and went away after the thrush went away and I started taking an allergy pill because I was getting crazy post nasal drip post op. Haven't had it since but have read it plenty of times. Not sure about the shallow burp.

      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?
