I had sleeve surgery 3-23-15 and I have gas so bad I cant hardly stand it. Does anyone have any ideas on this. Im probably the only person you know that cant make themselves burp but I cant.

I am 3 1/2 months out and can not burp either. The only thing that has helped me is 1 ounce of something carbonated if the gas gets unbearable.

Try chewable Gas-X and lots of walking. Worked for me. I stayed away from the disolvable strips because it looked to me like they have sugar alcohols in them which has caused me gas in the past. Walking will help move the CO2 they pumped you with during surgery to get absorbed into the bowel so it can be farted or burped out.
