:mad:Not the after surgery gas that gets caught in the shoulder. I am 3 months out from surgery and the tighter i get in my band the more gas i get that comes out the downwind way...I have tried gasx, beano and other things but the gas keeps on building....anyone else have this issue and what can be done about it?

I thought it was just me. I am not 3 months out, I am only 1 month out. I have never had gas like this in my life. I don't do the passing of it around my hubby, but since this surgery, I have been apologizing for my manners(passing of the gas). He don't mind, but its a thing that I would prefer to be alone when it happens. this feeling is so bad, sometimes I dont know if its gas or something else. Sorry if its to much information.

I have tried my gasX too, but no relief.

I will be checking in on your blog again to see what others posts.

I am so glad I don't feel alone!! I have always had lots of gas issues, but I was banded on 6/7/10 and the gas has elevated!! I am curious as to why this occurs. I don't drink carbonated sodas either!!

Is that why my left shoulder aches? I wasn't warned about that side effect.

Thanks for sharing!!

OMG! I was wondering the same thing. A friend told me that protein gives gas. I'm not sure but I sure have a lot more than before surgery, I am 2 months post-op. Will it ever stop?
