When does burping end?

[Deniz]

Hi everyone, I'm 6 days post op and I find myself burping after almost every sip. I'm guessing it's normal for now but when does that end? Thanks in advance.

Oh I remember how much I burped in the beginning just after surgery! I still do a lot of burping but not to that extent.

I used a back massager and it really helped release a lot of the gas. Hope you feel better soon!

I'll let you know when it does...now 14 months post op. It should get a bit better, but I think many of us burp or at least feel the need to burp more often after surgery for quite some time, if not long-term.

So very true, but in my case they seem harder to get out!

Me too! I have a very hard time burping. The first few days after surgery they were flying out. Now I feel like I struggle to burp and it’s really uncomfortable.

I don’t burp, but I always hiccup when I’m full!

I want to say mine ended around month one. But even then, sometimes I will eat something now that just causes excess air to come up but overall it doesn’t happen.

I'm somehow not very gassy either. I'm not complaining, believe me. I was expecting lots of flatulence & burping, based on prior threads. I am blessed by not having this, and I hope your burping ratchets down in the coming months as your body adjusts to all of the changes you've made. Good luck!

Hello all. I am 3 days post-OP. I have had no burping. Is this a good thing or bad thing?

 

[Pink Julie]

I didn’t have any, we are all different

 

[Bill sperry]

I don’t burp either even when I try I can’t ! Pretty weird

 

[KarenWV]

Does the type of surgery make a difference? Just out of curiosity, could we please share surgery type & if we have burping issues or no?

I had gastric bypass and have no burping issues. In fact it is quite difficult for me to burp. I was told RnY surgery was good for dealing with GERD, so maybe it's all related?!!

I had bypass and have trouble getting burps out.

 

[JudyNY]

I had VSG and had quite a it of burping.

I had bypass and have trouble getting burps out.

That is how it is for me now

I also starting burping more. Looked it up and saw that it was common with this surgery. I assume I will always have it but hope it lessens

I burped, hiccupped and even had foamies (terrible experiences!) quite a bit until week 6. Then miraculously it was as if I was a less tight, probably due to healing and now I have a more normal and enjoyable meal experience but with good restriction.
