I’m almost 8 months post op and to this point I have no issues at all. However, starting today any time I eat or drink ANYTHING I get horrendous air bubbles. I spend the next couple hours burping or trying to burp to release the air. I don’t have any feeling of acid but the “bubbles” are very uncomfortable and I have nearly thrown up from the pressure when I burp.
Any ideas what this could possibly be?
I haven’t changed anything. Eating slow. Chewing slow. Not drinking while eating. Literally nothing has changed.

It may be food specific if it just started. What were you eating/drinking when it happened?

I would think that too, but I have the same thing I always have at work. Protein shake mixed with coffee when it started. Then after anything (water, Gatorade, chicken, cheese, etc) it happened.

Burping and pain in your upper abdomen/epigastric region (from gas or???), can be symptoms of GERD. Probably a good idea to contact your PCP or surgeon’s office if symptoms persist.

Do you take anything for GERD now?

I’m glad you take something. Like I said though, if this keeps happening, you should contact one of your providers.

Hope you feel better!
