Lol ok so I had a sample new "depends" I got in the mail one time as I was getting nervous about my urgency issues a while back... I decided to try them out today after this incident because I need to get the rest of this gas out because I am having lots of pains and bloating with it and I am not doing so well in the bathroom lol so I am not taking chances... Bring it on, Gas!

I'm on day 5 post RNY and this is my issue too-not being able to trust a fart . I'm trying to figure out how to cope. Is this a long term thing? If so why isn't it talked about more so we can prepare Depends, wipes, bed pads before coming home?!! I feel upset at lack of preop information. What do others use to cope with this. Is it only RNY?

So I am 5 days post op... You know how they say to keep walking and keep passing gas... Well I went to Lowes with my husband today after finally starting to feel better and figured I could use a walk... Well I passed gas at Lowes after about 20 min of walking and unfortunately it wasn't gas... I apparently had my first BM and I started my period since this body is all confused and shocked after surgery. I mean it was bad.... on the way to the restroom I started to leave black gross trail .... Sooo embarrassing! How come people don't talk about this lol others must know this can happen lol

Good thing we live close so my husband went home while I was in a bathroom cleaning myself up and got me change of clothes... Saved by the hubby!

Still can't believe this lol I was worried that I was constipated... Wow

This happened to me too but mercifully I was still in the hospital and the nurses aids cleaned up. The worst grossest experience of my life and nobody warned me about the first BM. Vesuvius explosion of grossness.I feel angry and ill prepared and that i could have been warned so i could prepare. By the grace of God it didnt happen at home. My older disabled husband could not have managed. Now im home and have leaky farts and trying to figure out how to manage

I'm a year out, but I had the same problem in the beginning. It no longer happens to me, thank goodness! Maybe in time you won't have this problem. And you're right, it should be discussed! I didn't know it happened after surgery either. At home, I have an old towel on my recliner, just in case!

BTW, we call this a shart. LOL!

Good luck!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
