@Jleeds

welcome to the board!

i see you just joined our group 17 hours ago. always room

for one more newbie. (even though you are 4 years PO)

congrats on your wonderful weight loss - GOAL

at 4 years are you sure the gas is still WLS related? regardless

why you have this problem - talk to your family doc. (i hate

it when OP always say the above - but - he might have a

answer/solution that helps

good luck

How about a GasX-Beano cocktail? I can be a little Flatus FairyMaiden at times myself, it is embarrasing especially when there's no dogs or small children around to blame it on[emoji38]

I thought it was just me..LOL I had a VGS back in Dec. 2015 and never had this problem. Am now about 6 weeks out from my SADI loop surgery and am having a big problem with this as well. Working with a lot of people around me and with frequent meetings it is most definitely an issue. I am trying the Probiotics approach on a regular basis to see if it helps.

      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!
