Sleeved 8/22. Had terrible wretching for the first 48 hours, but that has calmed now. Other than that the surgery and recovery has gone better than I expected. I am on full liquids. Hard to get in the 60 Oz protein and the 64 Oz of fluid daily because I am always burping. Almost every sip = burp. Does the burping ever stop? Does it mean something?

Well during laparscopic surgery they use CO2 to insufflate your body so they can perform the surgery (basically they fill you up with gas to make space).

And the gas needs to leave your body somehow so its not just normal, but expected to burp (or fart) excessively in the postoperative period.

I dont know how long it lasts after surgery, but your surgery was recent enough that I would not be surprised that you still have lots of burping going on.

I'm about 2 weeks out and I have some burping and heartburn, even when eating non-acidic food. I think it may be that some air gets in there anyways and has to get burped up? Not sure, but so far no one has said anything to me about it so I mostly don't worry. Don't hesitate to check in with your surgeon or their team if you have concerns though, better to not have to worry than stress in not knowing (for me anyway).

Burping is an indication of fullness. I'm 32 days post op and burp whenever I'm full.

I always burp after eating and get weird sounds comming from my chest /throat after eating.. It's 1 yr since my surgery on September 8th
