I am 6 days post opp and I want to know WHEN does the gas and bubbles and gurgles go away! I am still on the liquid diet and anytime I drink anything I feel all the gas. It is so uncomfortable! I can't take a swallow without that feeling and literally have people burping me like I'm a baby! When can I expect some relief? Gas X does nothing since it not gas from inside your stomach. Please help!

If you mean the gas pain, then it goes away after a week or two as your body heals and the swelling goes down.

The burping and gurgling might never go away. I'm 10 months out, and still have both, and I've read they might be permanent. But then I guess that's okay because in my case, the burping is my never fail signal to stop eating because I'm full.

I'm at 6 months, and I still gurgle.

"Burps and Bubbles and Gurgles Oh My!"

Well, it could have been worse, you could have had flying monkeys coming out of your a$$.

I, too, had gas pains in the beginning. I found that if I ate slower, it helped.

Still get the burps and gurgles at 7 weeks out. Kind of getting used to them.

I am 6 months out and still get the gurgles when I drink fluids. It gets less but im pretty sure we will all have them forever. Not a bad trade off though.

I am about a month out and my sleeve is loud with the gurgles lol. I named it "moaning Myrtle"...
