8 days ago I had a revision from VBG to Proximal RNY. It was a very difficult surgery

My stomach was adhered to my liver and had to be seperated and I had the largest hernia he had ever seen. Surgery took almost 7 hours. My question..1) I've been home since Monday and have incredible belching. One sip of water and I'll burp 6-7 times in the next minute. Happens will food (only eating a liquid diet( also and sometimes for no reason. Anyone else experience this and do you know what causes it. 2) Dr. said I would have alot of pain because of the size of the hernia, however I've found that one of my major concerns is that I can't get comfortable...have alot of both lower and upper back pain, right shoulder pain etc, I can't get comfortable in bed, on couch, easy chair etc. I've tried all types of pillows in all positions and nothing helps. Not sleeping well (5-6 hours a night broken up into 2-3 periods.) Has anyone else experienced this and what causes it and how long does it last??
