Wrap club question.... (I'm not there yet, just need to know as I go through the process)

Hi everyone,

My question goes out to all the great wrapped up people out there who have had a successful Nissen.  

I have read on my posts about burping after the healing has fully taken place.  I heard from most that they can burp, but it's a different kind of burp.  One that you don't necissary force out like before (like after a beer drinking contest), but more of a 'release of air' that happens on it's own.  If this is the case, and you have a job presenting to people or talking in general, does this mean you will constantly or accasionally be burping during your presentations uncontrollably?

Just something I have to consider....

Thanks

Passing gas takes me by a little more surprise than before. I burp normal, no surprises.

The gas tends to be a little while after eating, so you will learn and plan accordingly. ;)

Hi there!
When my stomach is not full, I can burp a little, but its more like really tiny pop pop pops of air that come up, really tiny. Almost like my stomach is venting itself. i notice that I can do it more if there is less pressure in my stomach. I am almost 3 months out from surgery and the ability to vent has greatly helped with my bloating.
I have been too scared to try carbonated beverages though, especially this early in my healing.

I can not burp on purpose though. Sometimes I will feel my stomach squeeze like it needs to burp like before surgery, but nothing happens. I can feel my wrap stop all that nonsense.

I actually was off for three weeks, and really struggled through the fourth while I was at work.
My boyfriends boss had the same surgery and same surgeon earlier in the year and he had the same experience I did, back at three weeks wished he would have taken four, but everyone is different.
I found sitting at my desk to be more uncomfortable than standing, it was hard on my upper abs.
I did have a loose floppy and I am SUPER pleased with the results, it really worked and I was eating normally(ish) at like 3 weeks. I do not have swallowing problems, I only really have some lingering surgical pain because of coughing and sneezing*sinus infection* and moving around too much and forgetting I am still healing. The only other gripe is the bloat, but even that gets better and better as time goes on.
