If you've read this post before I apologize. I thought I posted it but cant seem to find it.

To be blunt..Exaclty how bad is post-op farting?

I have to go back to work 8 days later and I'm worried that it will be uncontrollable odor or constant. I share a small cubical area with another lady and I really don't want to do that to her. She is also very sensitive to smells so trying to mask potential odors is probably not going to be an option.

Am I just over thinking?

Do NOT fart unless you are sitting on the toilet! I'm 6 days out today, and no way would I even think about letting one "slip" out. Sometimes it IS just a fart, but sometimes it is NOT. lol

I have had only the normal amount which, I am pleased to announce, was confined to my home.

I am six and a half weeks out, and I have never had problems with it. I can't say others haven't, but I personally haven't. And I eat a lot of beans for my protein. I worried about it at first, but when they never came, I stopped worrying. I hope you have no problems like me, especially sharing a space with someone else!

I hardly ever do now- its kinda nice!

You may be surprised after you get out of the oops I crapped my pants from thinking it was a fart mode! I maybe fluff twice a day now!

BURPING louuuuuudly- well that's another story

i wasn’t farty I burped a lot (still do!) but I also stuck to hot drink, cold/water hurt and made me feel like I was being punched.

So I had a thermos of decaf tea with me and that’s what I drank plus another with broth in it so all mine was hot and the burping is kinda instant with a warm drink.

I also never had a fart accident lol

I burp a lot too. Fortunately, I have not had a "fart" accident. I knew I'd better run to the bathroom if I felt one coming from reading on here. Glad I listened. lol I'm 6 days out from surgery now, so hopefully all the gas is about out!

I have yet to have my surgery so input there, however I was told that adding parsley to my diet would help with this. I have also done extended fasts int he past where this was a problem and mint tea helped me. It naturally settles tummies and it has a smell that tends to work as a neutralizer. I am nervous about this too! Good luck!

Gas didn't really come out of

My butt

Great....i was only worried about farting. i'm sure my satan-like boss will love to comment on that.

If I eat sugar, it will make me fart. Not always, but it will if I over indulge.

Oh god....I am a farter now.... so much so my daughter sees the Gas-X commerical and tells me, me and my mom should by that. I was hoping that after surgery it might get better. Now I see I have to worry about sharting!!! Great! LMAO....

THIS lol. I have always made it to the bathroom, but make sure you keep some air freshener in there just in case. Gas is slowly starting to dissipate, but I can anticipate it. Gas-x strips help some too.

looks like i'll be using gas-x like pez.
