Excessive Belching 9 weeks post Nissen

 Hi,im 9 weeks post nissen and in the last week i have had terrible burping,belching etc.This reminds me what i was like when i had esophagitis 5 years ago.Wind just keeps comin up through my wrap,at times i feel as if im going to pass out,really lightheaded! Im starting to wonder is the wrap too loose.Rang surgeons secretary to see if he would advise me and i was told i would only be able to see him at the 4 month follow up! Not happy! Anyone any ideas? Thanks Barry

Hi Chevyvan,thanks for your reply.Ive cut back to soft foods again which helped with the nausea i was having and have been taking Deflatine which is a UK equivalent of GasX from my first week.Dont know whats goin on.If i could get this settled i would say the surgery was a success as everything else has sorted itself out. Thanks Barry

Well getting the tightness of the Nissen just right is one of the pitfalls of that procedure. It's possible it is too loose, but it sounds like there is excess air coming up beyond normal burping. If the Nissen kept that in, you'd probably be feeling a lot of bloating and gas pains which might be worse. I guess either you are swallowing a lot of air or eating something that is producing a lot of gas.
