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...

I know! I hate it when I'm working out at the gym and i'm having to hold it in. It hurts! I guess its just part of what we have to live with :P

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).

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
