Ad surgery last Wednesday, been home since Friday. Noticing that whenever I take a drink of anything I burp. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong that has me taking in too much air?

Lots of gurgling the first week...or two....or three....

Okay good to know

Thanks!

I'm three weeks out and excessive belching is my "full" sign . I don't know if that will always be the case.

I was sleeved on 2/24....... Yep, gas is normal. I use 2 gasx strips and that really seems to help.

Oh, girl, I'm close to two years and there are times that I'm a burping machine!! LOL

This is helpful. I thought the burping was a sign of my being full but that's impossible considering I burp when there's nothing in me.

Small sips, no straws, to keep the air out, since my RNY I can no longer participate in the manly art of long draw out burps. ;0( lol only little dinky burps that let me know I'm consuming to fast. Good luck. :0)

I so wish I could burp!!! I think burping is a big relief. I sip water then little bubbles come out, very annoying, takes forever and a bit painful. If I could let out a burp all would be over and done with and on to the next sip. Haha!

I was a burping queen for about 4-5 months after surgery. I've only recently noticed that I can eat again without burping for a half hour afterwards.

What happens when a person drinks out of a straw and how long before a person can use a straw.
