Um...gas Question...

Not surgery gas, but intestinal gas. :o

A co-worker (no WLS!) swears that your gas is worse forever after surgery and it's, not to be gross but, stinkier.

Please tell me this isn't true! I've heard that about bypass but not the sleeve. Say it ain't so!!

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that is just part of breaking down healthy foods.

    I haven't noticed this at all. So maybe it depends on the person.

    It's true. I never had stinky farts. Ever. Now I realize it's because I ate junk food. Already processed so my body never had to work at digesting. Now? Ha! Totally diff story. Phew.

    Some people are lactose intolerant and don't know it. Try using whey protein isolate, it's lactose free. And by the lactose free milk and see if that helps. If I take one swallow of regular milk or ice cream the pressure gets GREAT!

    I have been.miserable the last few days. Horrible indigestion at first, and then the next day my stomach hurts like it did post surgery. I feel a hiccup and dread it because i know how bad its going to hurt. My stomach felt great and now all this pain & gas (i think). I just dont know what is going on. Does anyone have suggestions?

    I take protonix and started gasx today. Has anyone had this?
