I am 10 days post op. I was late getting my lunch in, started burping before it got way worse after eating- can eating too fast cause the excessive burping?

After gastric bypass surgery, you experience quit a bit of gas. At 10 days post-op this should start to subside. Walking should help. Another thing that may be of help is taking Probiotics. Generally in the hospital, they administer antibiotics to prevent you from getting various infections. This destroys not only the bad bacteria but also the good bacteria in your gut. You need to restore this good bacteria and that is done by probiotics.

We always intake air when we swallow. Having a smaller pouch, the air takes up more room, causing more burping. As your body gets use to it, it will subside some.
