Burping after every sip post of gastric bypass

[Jcjb 0]

Hi there!

I am 5 days post op gastric bypass. On day 4 post op, I started to experience burping after EVERY SIP of shake and Water. Is this just my stomach adapting to its new life? Is this something that is temporary? Thanks!!

This happened to me too (and before I burped it sounded like an angry cat lived in my stomach as the gas just kind of moved around lol). I'm now almost 4 weeks post op and it's not as bad, although it still happens sometimes. My doctor told me to take smaller but more frequent sips and kind of purse your lips so you're not letting as much air in, and that helped a lot.

I experienced that for about a month or so post-surgery. It then totally resolved.

It’s still happening to me but not as much... I hope it continues to lessen!
