Question about gas...

Anyone have gas pretty much all the time? This just started for me, I would say a couple of months ago (Im 21 weeks post op). It never fails, it seems like my digestive system just hates me now. I never use to have a problem and now, its getting annoying. Help?!

I've had gas since I had surgery almost two months ago. Take some gas-x, it should help. Everyone has gas it's really not that big of a deal. My handbook from the surgeon's office says you are going to more gassy, that's just part of having the procedure we have had done. The only time I find it annoying is at the gym, when I am on the treadmill. I'm a farting machine on that thing. Lol! Good luck with your WLS journey...

You guys make me laugh! I can hardly wait to get to the gym. Thank goodness Planet Fitness is a judgment free zone!! ☁️

6 months out and it hasn't gone away for me. I'm just getting used to it being part of the new me.

My surgery was in 2009 and I still have gas. Tell those around you it's not on purpose and live with it. The gas x is never handy when I need it. ie in the bottom of my purse(purse in the back seat while I drive of course).

Ok i have the solution if you have foul smelling flatulance the product is call Devrom found online and walgreens amzaon etc read about it!!!

Thanks for this suggestion! Putting is bad enough but PU putts are embarrassing!

How long does it take for the Devrom to work? Do you take it before or after a meal? These things are not on the bottle. Confused.

Dosage is one to two tablets or capsules up to four times daily. Not to exceed eight in one day. The effective dose varies from person to person. It is recommended to start with one tablet or capsule at Breakfast and the same at lunch and dinner. Results can be noticed within a day or two. Evaluate the results and, if necessary, increase the dosage. Consult your physician when trying a new gas medication.

Adults and children 12 years of age and over: Oral dosage is 200mg to 400mg up to 4 times daily. Children under 12 years of age: Consult a physician.
