Recommended Posts

All the time. If it's not coming up one way it's going out the other. I'm only 3 weeks post but it's almost constant.

I've been told it'll go away in time. I've also been told to try had gas x and it might help.

Sorry I couldn't be more of assistance

Yes, unfortunately, it is true.

intestinal flora can be greatly affected by surgery and/or diet changes... eat lots of yogurt, or take Probiotics. you may want to consider a good digestive enzyme supplement too.

I'm just about 7 months out as well and it is a very common thing.

At this point, I'll happily deal with the gas to have all of the other wonderful benefits. Yes, I'd love to have it go away at some point, but not really sure how it would.

My doctor told me to take a Gas-X pill. There is also a chewable and a dissolvable strip you can put on your tongue. It is best to take them before meals, but I've only had to take the pill in the morning, the chewable in the late afternoon and then just carry the dissolvable strips in my purse, just in case. I just burp. No toots. Just burps. I'll take it. My hubby says I burp a lot in my sleep too. So sexy, right?!?! Lol!

Look for Simethacone. That is the active ingredient in gas products..

I am only 6 weeks post surg, but my husband is over 2 yrs and the gas is still awful from him! lol. There are things he eats that make it worse, and he just doesn't care. <rolling my eyes> So it might not get "better" but you might learn to be able to control it better.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
