Has anyone experienced severe flatulence post-op? I’ve tried everything to curb it with no luck. So I started taking Devrom to at least minimize the odor, but that raises my blood sugar more than a bag of candy.

You can also purchase charcoal pills which is what my surgeon told me to try.

Did you take several pills when you eat, or just one? I find if I take 3-4 at the beginning of a meal, it almost completely eliminates gas.

No idea. At this point everything gives me gas. Doesn't matter what it is. The only thing so far that has worked is Immodium. For some reason it stops the gas but I can still have regular BMs. There's so much I don't understand yet. And every 2-3 months things change so I'm just working on the premise that this too will pass.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
