I'm 6 days post op. I'm burping, but not releasing gas from the other end. I am, however, having very frequent & liquid-y poops, which may be why there's no gas buildup down there. I just called my doc's office, too. This pooping situation has GOT to get better!

HI Everyone,

I am am two days away from my VSG. I am very excited and a little nervous. Just wondering...did you have to do a pre-op diet? if so, do you think that the diet had something to do with the gas or is this just par for the course?

The gas comes from the surgery itself. They fill the abdomen w gas to extend it for the surgical tools.

Yeah the gas is part of the surgery. I'm starting my 3rd week post-op and still have it. But, it's like everytime I swallow a drink or food....it gurgles then eventually I burp. I hope that part ends soon..

oh ok...i do remember them talking about that in my class. thanks.

It WILL get better. This may be the only time is is socially acceptable to burp and fart. So ENJOY!

I think it's just par for the course I know my shakes give me gas but before surgery I didn't have as much so it's the gas from surgery trapped in there still and if you don't eat enough only more air gets in your belly and builds up I guess it's s vicious cycle I'm sure it will go away soon I hope:) good luck with your surgery !
