I'm tired of the belching, aren't you?
Since the time I came home from the hospital a month and week ago to now I'm constantly belching!
I know the first few weeks of belching were from the gas they put in me, but now I try to make sure I'm not gulping my water or eating anything that makes me gassy.
I belch like I'm entering a belching contest at a county fair or something! It's not very ladylike and even my husband look at me because he thinks it's the ghost from "The Grudge" sitting behind him! LOL
I don't know if it's just indigestion or what!! Any ideas on how I can get rid of it?

I had that problem for about a month, maybe a month and a half post op. Damned annoying. You can try the Gas X strips, those helped me some. Mostly I had to just ride it out. As I learned to eat slower and take a pause between bites it started getting better...but that may have just been a coincidence.
lol - two years out and I still belch like that. Some days are worse than others and I think for me it sometimes ties in to how fast I eat. When I eat lunch at work I eat super slow because I play on the computer between bites. I rarely belch at lunch. At home at dinnertme I just .. well .. eat. So I eat faster and then I belch really loudly. Super unladylike. Hopefully you'll outgrow it - a lot of us don't though.

Surgery: Dec 2009, lost 100 lbs
Before I had surgery, I could belch like I was going to a belching contest. When I went to the informational session with the surgeon, he mentioned that some people post op can have a problem with belching. Almost like its a side effect of the surgery. When he said this, I almost burst out laughing. I was thinking OMG. What am I going to be like post op. I come by it honestly. My mother who is very tiny can belch and make a sailor blush. My boyfriend just looks at me funny, and shakes his head when I do it. It can be annoying but oh well. Not to much I can do about it. I do notice that if I eat to much or fast I will do it more, some days are better then others.














Sometimes it be nice to be able to have that pressure release back.
