I am 5 weeks post hiatal hernia and fundoplication surgery. I struggle with eating and drinking and need to constantly burp to help food or drink go down. Anyone else have this problem? Other than that mostly feeling ok

Hi @lorusogirl - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Having to constantly burp to help food go down would be a bit tiresome, I imagine, and maybe not what you'd prefer to do in public, ultimately.

Glad that otherwise you are feeling okay.

Have you gotten to discuss the issue with getting food and drink to go down with your surgeon? If so, what did he or she say?
