For most patients, burping is more difficult than prior to surgery.
However, for most people GAS is more common. You might be happier with the
burping than the gas problem encountered by numerous bypass patients.

Iburp less when I learned to eat slower and take sips of water. I beleive
the burping is more often if you swallow more air when you eat. Funny, I
never burped much before surgery, but maybe it worked it way all the way
through me, because that seems to be under better control since surgery.

THe dietician I had before surgery had me start drinking after I exhaled. I
know it was difficult to learn, but she said that when you drink as
"we" have always done then we swallow alot of air and that can
lead to alot of burping and maybe some painful gas. It has worked for me so
maybe you could try it. Remember it takes alot of re-training to do that is
why she started me before surgery. Good Luck

This is happening to me also. I asked my doctor and the support group at my
Doctor's office and they said this is normal.

I wish thats all I did was burp. I have the other problem to much stomach
gas. When I used Beano it was alot better, but when I ran out I keep
forgetting to buy some more, my bad! Anyhow hope yours gets better! Take
Care!

OMG!! My husband came out of surgery burping out of control! He hasn't
stopped either. And I am talking about window shattering burps too. It is
embarrassing out in public--sounds like some kind of animal noise. I am
the opposite, I have never burped since surgery--I am gassy the other way
though.

I was told that after surgery you can burp when you are full. I find that
is what happens to me. It even happens when I drink water. Some say that
they sneeze when they are full and others burp.
