one week out is this normal

I am nearly 4 weeks post-op and I went through the same thing and when I would put a little pressure on my tummy it helped, and sometimes I would burp.. so I always thought it was just my stomach churning and I had gas because eating to fast or swallowing air.  Glad to know it's normal.  I don't get that all the time anymore, unless I eat too fast.  then it kinda hurts.

 I get the same thing... Its like a feeling of pressure. I think it is because of the swelling. Also when found is going down our esophagus it is going through peristalsis, the esophagus is contracting in rhythmic movements to push the food down and perhaps we are more sensitive to that especially when it reaches esophageal sphincter. Our stomach also churns food so maybe we are more sensitive to this feeling now.
