Does drinking wine "burn" going down?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone else experiences a burning sensation in their pouch when you drink wine.

Red wine is awful, white is usually ok.

I have no problems with food and have no reflux issues, so not sure what would be causing it.

Thanks

Lisa

I don't drink wine really, I've had some tastes since banding, didn't feel anything. Did it burn you pre-band?

Yes! I think its the alcohol itself that causing the burning sensation. I have felt it with other types of liquor, too. Sometimes, I feel nothing and sometimes it stops me cold. I don't drink much as a rule, but have experienced this. I also get this sometimes with salsa or other spicy foods and it never happened before the band. I can feel it hit the band because it burns and is irritable.

Wine goes down just fine for me. The only thing that burns is carbonated drinks which we are supposed to drink anyway. I stay away from them most of the time but sometimes I think I have to have a sip of Diet Coke or beer.

Hi Wheetsin,

No, it didn't burn pre-band. And I've only really noticed the sensation in the last couple of months.

Not all the time but very often it does.

Mostly when I try to drink wine and eat at the same time. I'm generally fine if I have a glass of wine and THEN dinner or dinner and THEN a glass of wine a bit later. Dinner and wine together = burning. Its rather uncomfortable. But I shouldnt eat and drink together anyway so I try to avoid that and I'm fine with it.

Yes, in a minor way, but I really seemed to have developed a problem with things with vinegar in them (wine is not far from that). Eating a salad with vinegrette dressing on it now burns on the way down. This has been since banding. I just kindof shy away from it now.

Interesting about the differing experiences. Next time I see my surgeon I'll ask him about it.

Yes, minorly (not enough to stop drinking!) and it is always with the red which is sad because I prefer red.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
