Anyone have a problem with swallowing air?

I'm about five and a half years out and I'm starting to realize--very late--that I think I have a problem with eating too quickly and swallowing air. The thing is, this problem has been ongoing for a long time and goes back to even before my surgery but I feel that only just over the last year or two has the problem begun to catch up with me. In the first couple years after my surgery my restriction seemed to work as it should be. I would eat until I was full and just stop. I dropped weight like it was going out of style. If I overate, I would feel it--and pay for it in horrible cramps and nausea. These days? I feel almost like I COULD eat as much as I want, but the restriction is still there. It's very hard to explain. For a while I was starting to feel a tightness in my gut constantly and wasn't sure what it was, though it came with bad GERD.

After getting a bit more active and pressing on my belly I noticed I would burp--a lot. And now I'm realizing that there seems to be a ton of gas coming up after meals that I need to work off to feel comfortable. I used to fart a lot, but now I hardly ever pass gas and it only seems to go up.

I'm not sure if it's cumulative stress from the distention of air in my belly, but I had developed horrible symptoms like flushing, skin rashes, and the inability to relax as I once did.

I am communicating with a bariatric specialist and my PCP, who both thought it was dumping (it wasn't) but this is slow going and hard to pin down so I'm taking another stab at this. Thanks again guys, and keep up the good work.

Could this all be due to GERD? Has your surgeon suggested revision to RNY?
