Ok, I have just read on another post that Explosive Farts, Loaded Farts is an issue after the sleeve.

WTF, I can't be Sharting Myself..... I wouldn't be able to live with it if I Sharted my self at Work.

Is this really an issue???

Did YOU Shart yourself???

Please Tell, Please, please, Please.

IMABear

LOL. No Not yet- I'm 7 weeks out and it's never happened. I pray it never will- thought that was only supposed to happen when you are 80 and older.

I never let that happen. I did have a few non-productive trips to the restroom, never trust a fart

There are people who have had to take *the walk of shame* to the restroom lol

Butt <~~~ they shall remain nameless

Haha

I actually did (embarassing to admit) when I was out of town at a conference. To make matters worse, my luggage was already packed and checked in. I was lucky in I found a vacant bathroom with a handicapped stall and was able to throw out the "evidence" (complete with really nice undies) and then wash up. Everything went ok the rest of the day but it taught me a lesson.

I attribute it happening to the fact I was just starting pureed foods (liquid in-liquid out), it was 90 degrees outside and I had been walking a mile in the heat and was dehydrated. it happened shortly after I got in and started drinking cold Water.

I keep a pair of pants and underwear at work. Even though it has only happened once since surgery (7 weeks ago), it was once too often!

At 4 months post-op, I've never experienced anything even remotely like this. I'm wondering if the people who have are eating this they shouldn't be eating (sugary/high carb/high fat/etc). I don't eat anything with sugar added, avoid simple carbs (potatoes, rice, pasta, breads, etc), and keep to low-fat/fat-free whenever possible. Perhaps that's the ticket.

I haven't had it happen (5 weeks post op) but I've heard stories LOL

No never heard of it either. I wouldn't worry about it.

Shart!!!! OMG I'm dying of laughter! The "never trust a fart" credo cracked me up last week, now this! It's weird.. Pre-surgery a gurgling stomach would be a warning that somethin's a-brewin' down there. Now the gurgling happens all the time-hungry gurgle, while-eating gurgle, post-eating gurgle. Maybe its when the gurgling stops post-op that you have to worry!! Just in case, I'm bring some 'emergency items' back to work with me when I go back on Monday! Thanks for the laugh and tips!

It's most likely to happen within the first couple of weeks. Your digestive system is freaking out after the preop diet, surgery, clear liquids, full liquids....it's nuts. You have gas. You have diarrhea...then you're constipated. Then one day you try to fart....and you go too far. It happens.

Story of my life....going to far! This is one place I ll try not to!

My advice is everyone should carry some extra "provisions" with them after surgery until you're digestive sytem gets back to normal.

Embarrassing to admit but first week out I sharted red jello. Nearly passed out from fright. Fortunately I was at home and hubby was there. I have not had red jello since and yes it was sugar free.

I hate to admit it as well but after surgery I had an episode of sharting. Thank goodness I was at home, this did occur right after surgery and hasn't happened since.

This post is funny. But I do have a question also: what about the people with IBS?

I AM A SHARTIST

It was BAD

But, I think it was the mootopia milk. It was within first week post op. I had a few days of close calls after I earned my shartist badge but I have been normal since then. No more mootopia milk for me, unless I get constipated..
