Belching: Perhaps you're forming excessive gas after your cholecystectomy, but making yourself belch may be causing excessive air swallowing causing a vicious cycle. Taking simethicone a half hour after meals prevents gas buildup. Drinking hot(not too hot) water breaks down gas into smaller bubbles enabling you to pass gas along the intestinal tract instead of burping. Stress may cause more air swallowing.
