Surgery was 5 months ago Thanksgiving day. I've lost 43 lbs. To begin with things were fairly normal after surgery. Now I am noticing that am tootin a lot- I mean all the time! It's not just when I eat veggies like broccoli or things like Beans. It makes no difference what I eat I am gassy.

I burp rarely, but toot likily thousands of times a day. Thanks goodness I have my own office. I know TMI- it doesn't smell, but it's just annoying and I am always scared it will slip out when someone walks in.

Anyone else having these issues? Would Beano help?

I am 2 months out and have a burping problem, day, night, food no food, I burp like it is my job.......(stole that from someone)

every day........you can try beano, see if it helps..if so, let me know

you can hear me going down the hall at work...so if you hear tootoot its ME

Ya know, I was laying in bed last night wondering if the band made you more gasey or not! Thanks for the thread!

It's definitely the band. Lol!

Agreed , the band somehow makes you more gassy. Sometimes it comes out of the top and sometimes it comes out of the bottom. It can be really annoying but there isn't really a lot that can be done about it.

I always blamed it on the protein shakes! I tried fiber supplements, and the gas was unbelievable! I carry Gas-X with me at all times.

I just did a search on here for the word "gas" (LOL) cuz its constant at 1-1/2 month post op for me. It's a good thing I'm single and live alone.

What's happens when I start dating?

Goodness...

I hope Gas-X works...

What does eveyone use besides Gas-X?

I have this happen to. I take my daily walks and I'm constantly looking around, making sure no one is nearby so I can toot down the street lol.

I suspect it's likely from the increase of Protein. Plus, while veggies and good starches are good for you, they also can make you gassy.

I also have gas out of both ends. My husband laughs and says he has never heard a woman sound like me.

Every time I am out walking it sounds like a flock of ducks are walking right behind me

too(t) funny! I burp ALL the time. It's a joke with my kids that its just my band talking back. I usually have to warn people who i work with because at this point, 28 months after surgery, I don't even think,about it anymore.

As Shrek says "Better out than in, that's what I say"....

Ok here is my take. My bowels are healthy now after years of being unhealthy and the normal course of events is for the gas to escape somehow... I too find myself being more gassy then ever before but on the other hand I have healthy looking stools because I am not drinking and eating hi fat sugary foods. SO I suppose its a tradeoff.

Are you also constipated, that can sometimes show up as more gas. I also seem to have more, but I am always constipated unless a eat fresh peaches every day. Tough to do in the late fall and winter!

Oh I'm glad you admitted brought this up! I toot all the time! It was worrying me. Now I don't feel so alone in my cloud.

When my hubby used to drink this cheap local beer, he tooted so bad people would get really angry at him, this didn't help that he laughs and laughs about it. I called them "divorce farts."

Now I want to divorce myself. :ph34r:

Laughing so hard right now! I am so freakin gassy! I asked church to pray for my gassy shoulders bc they hurt! I have used gas ex and beano.... No luck.
