Hi everyone!! 

I am 3 weeks out (was sleeve August 11) and I notice that I often get hiccups and burp a lot.  Have a sip of water, burp.... It's really irritating. Am I doing something wrong? How can I make this stop!? 

 

Thanks in advance for any insight!!

It sounds like you might be drinking too fast or swallowing too much air.  Try taking smaller sips?  You could also try drinking with a straw, that might help.

According to what I've learned so far in my pre op journey, I will no longer be able to use a straw.  The reason is exactly what you are experiencing now....gas.

Congratulations on your surgery.  Keep us posted on your jouney, please.

Straws are only a problem if you suck in air while using one. For some people they actually have the opposite effect and help reduce air sucked in.

I am over a year out and those squeaky burps or hiccups is my full signal. I still get them at every meal.

I was told not to use straws.... Except I had this problem without using straws so I finally tried them a couple weeks after surgery and they did WONDERS. They reduced gas dramatically. If I do get gas it's usually because I don't use them.
