painful burping (not from surgical site)



Recommended Posts

Hi. I am almost 3 weeks out and have had a rough go. Was in the hospital yesterday. Had to get IV fluids and a work up. They really didn't find much except dehydration and so me swelling in my esophagus. Past days prior I had this pressure pain in my chest and esophagus which has made it hard to drink fluids. Today I have nausea and cant get much fluids down (20 oz of Gatorade). Today is different though, when I burp (often) I get pain/ache in my esophagus, chest, and stomach area. Almost like when you over inflate something as burping expands these areas. When not burping I still have tightness in chest and ache but much more sharp when I burp. Anyone experience this before? Any ideas? Most sips cause more chest pain to like someone is sitting on my chest. Again, I interpret it as when the esophagus, chest, and stomach expands. Im just miserable and I got no answers from ER. I am very weak due tolack of fluids and nutrients I imagine. I just want to feel well for 1 day. thanks all and wishes for a Happy Healthy Thanksgiving for Everyone

Did you have a hiatal hernia repair with your surgery?

And every tiny sip i take I have to have these painful burps. Then some nausea. My perception is as if some place is too narrow, restricting proper flow

It's like I need to burp each sip to allow it to pass a certain point. I wish they would have done an EGD in the hospital yesterday. The surgeon kind of mentioned that possibility when I had him paged Sunday but they never did it yesterday. Just blood work and a cat scan of esophogus and chest. They didn't even look at the stomach area

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
