OMG...I am almost 5 months post op and I eat lots of protein and the gas that I have is crazy! I can keep it under control all day but it seems like when I get home it wants to come out. My kids are cracking up and now my husband is looking at me like a freak of the week. How long does this gas last in your body? Will I continue to have gas? Its getting embarassing..

Girl, I am wondering the same thing!! I am only a month post op, but I have gas every single morning, and at night, I can feel and hear my tummy rumbling. I do not drink with straws, so that is not the cause, the gas from surgery is suppose to be gone after a few days I was told. (?) I don't want to have to take gas x for the rest of my life either...I would love to know how to get rid of it too!!!

Certain Protein shakes can cause this. You might want to try to switch to a different Drink.

They do sell bean-o, and other pills to disolve Gas. Similar to having to much soap suds in your washer, and you pour in Fabric Softener to cut the soap.

That's all I could think of, but it works on that order.

Good Luck !

oh wow!! This thread made me laugh. :-) My mother is a farting freak and she doesn't even have a band. I'm glad I read this though, I will stock up on Gas-X!! Thanks for the giggle! :-) hehehe

I read that you could take antacid, but check with md first, at least you found a way to get peace and quiet for yourself , I take 1/2 tums if after taking my meds bothers me.

I'm 6 years post-op and still fart like a freak. For me, I think it is all the fruits, veggies, and protein. All that roughage causes gas.

I'm 5 weeks out and its horrible! I did get these little green pills at Wal-Mart (Equate Extra Strength Gas Relief) and they're miracle workers. Gas-X strips are more for the gas in your stomach, but the little green babies get rid of the farts!
