Yes, you might get it from either end. Farts or burps, normal!! Also, I had tummy rumbling so loud people could hear it. It won't last forever, tho'! Best wishes, Karen..aka.kll724

Congratulations on your new journey. I have the worse gas, all the time. Lately my farts smell which is gross. I burp, hic cup, too.

I was told by others, it's here for good.

Yea it really isnt exactly lady like

I warned my fiancé preop that I'd have this problem and not to laugh as I need to get it out and not be self conscious. He did really well at ignoring it! It's normal.

Doesnt help when ur out in public lol

I am SOOO glad I came on here tonight!! I had NO tooting and was doing a lot of burping!! I thought something wasn't right!! My surgery was Wednesday and today was the first time I tooted!! LOL!

9 months post-op and still got it. At this point, I just tell my kids and BF "It's medically necessary" everytime they shout "Ewwwww....gross!"

I'm 8 months postoperative and it's better and at least controllable. Nothing like a crowded elevator.....

19 months post op and i jiffy pop all the time..

seems to be, from what i have read and dealt with myslf, just a part of living with a band

but hey, it is what it is :)

Oh CG, thank you! 'Ve been jiffy popping as you put it since my surgery 12/28/1

Oops since 12/28/12!! Last. Night was particularly bad after I ate some cheese grits and coffee at Denny's! No more cheese grits for me! But I have that darn flatulence everyday! Sometimes it's not too bad but it does get embarrassing lol!

I am 4 weeks post op, and i think the gas is getting worse? This can't be!

I was told NOT to drink with a straw as this could make it worse....I'm only a week out today and NO PROBLEMS!!
