Belching 16 months post-op and pain?? Anyone else???

I'm 16 months out and I've lost 167 lbs, down to 131 lbs. I'm still losing weight and keep a very healthy lifestyle and exercise. In the last several month (3 to be exact) I've noticed I belch really bad, yes, after eating, drinking, etc. and just do it - loud and embarrassing - I also get horrible pains that are in my chest, stomach, shoulder blades especially after a small glass of wine (rarely drink only 3 glasses since surgery), was in pain the whole night, certain foods, and sometimes, I can't stand up straight from the massive pain and my stomach bloats horribly that I have to undo my pants. I've had an endoscopy, nothing, no hernia, no ulcer, no leaks...has anyone else had this problem, I feel like I am a freak in a way and the girl who cried wolf, but it is there and I even still have a problem with food making my heart race, feel bad for about an hour or less sometimes. I don't know what to do - okay, I started to smoke again, under tremendous stress, mom passed away, dad and uncle moving in with me, broke up with boyfriend of 8 years, paying my fathers expenses while trying to make mine and I'm only 43! Was not expecting this - glad they are coming to live here, but it has been a heck of last 3 months. Suggestions anyone????
