To be frank, I feel like I might be close to death or imagine this is what being close to death feels like. I can't shake the burping/puking feeling. I've tried GERD drugs. Zofran doesn't work on me. It never has. I'm totally miserable 2 weeks post op.
Any drug ideas for the burping/puking feeling?

I too had that burping and puking like feeling for a few days post op. Everytime I woke up from the bed it was as if all the air I was breathing went into my stomach. It was really bad feeling . I was given ajwain (carom seeds ) by my dietician to help with the gas and puking like feeling. I dont know if they are available where you live . But thats how my problem was solved though it took few days to go away completely.
I’d suggest calling your surgeon. In the meantime, are you eating solid food? Drinking liquids? Peeing enough light colored urine to be sure you’re not dehydrated?
Eating solids. Not sure on dehydration given the pee not being clear. I'm taking 2 multivitamins + 2 large doses of Vitamin C + Zinc per the post-op instructions. That'll change the urine content/color. Drinking liquids have been fine up until today where I actually did vomit quite a bit.
I've got an appointment tomorrow with the surgery clinic but haven't been able to follow up with the surgeon who did the work. It has been a strange sequence of events thus far. Frankly, I'm suspicious that I even needed the surgery. Why couldn't they have approached the adhesion from a diff direction instead of doing a bowel resection... What a mess.
