I was banded July 5th, so about two & half weeks out. Overall, I am feeling good, but have gas from the bowels of hell! I am way past the post-op gas that I was expecting. I have to keep air freshener on me at all times..LoL! I am a teacher and start back to school in a few weeks. My worst nightmare is that I will pass gas in front of my class!

Blame it on the kids!!!!!!. Just kidding...... I have heard that walking helps alot. Maybe you can call your nutritionist, you may be inadvertently eating something that is causing it. Just a thought.

Well.. worst case scenario:

Call one of the boys up to the front of class and have him pull your finger! Shock the class to hell, then you will be the coolest teacher in school!

Hi, I've had the same thing happen to me these last few days and I was banded 2 nd July. Ive pretty much been having the same things food wise so don't think it's that but gee I would make even a sailor blush with all the tooting lol. Seems to have all settled down by today thank goodness

Oh im 6 weeks out and my belching is uncontrollable n loud n nasty nothings helps tho!

I'm about six weeks out as well and still having a lot of gas! In a teacher too!!! Don't want to go back!

I am actually quite a few years out and basically had to do a restart although did not gain everything back. Since I got my fill in May and I did another doc visit I do get some horrific from the bowels of the earth gas that keeps passing. I honestly do not know if it is my body that is cleansing itself of the gas that is built up in the miles of inner piping or what. I stopped drinking soda, I do eat beans but at alot of them before. It is weird because it doesn't seem to hit me in public (thank goodness) but when at home watching TV I sound like a group of ducks at the park when they keep honking at you. I was thinking of trying BEANO, have you guys tried it?

I am teacher as well. Nice to see I am not the only one worried about the gas during class! I teach Middle School SPED, so well....I guess they will get use to it and get a good laugh. My surgery was June 8, I get gas and hiccups everytime I eat. I am wondering how much this is truly going to affect my life at work. How to handle lunch duty verses my slow eating and small bites. It will be a great juggeling act.

I think my gas is from eating the wrong foods.

I'm 2 months post op and the gas is still there. It's not as bad as it was right after surgery, but im still extra gassy!

This topic made me LOL!! I have been gassy since surgery too (almost 9 months out) Doc says it's normal... I've tried different things in my diet and the gas continues. I just embrace it at this point. Luckily, it mostly happens at home and DH (who hasn't had surgery) is just as bad.

I am 3 weeks out since my surgery and all I do is burp, burp, burp. Seems when I eat something I burp a lot after, like the foord is forcing the air out, Gas-X doesn't touch it.

Gas ex works wonders!

Our summer break is quickly passing & I am not ready to go back either.

Yep, I am ready to go back. Gas x will go with me.

Two years out and still way more gassy than I was presurgery. It is controllable though. I visit the bathroom several times a day at work just to deal with the gas.
