i see we are both in Cali! where is fallbrook? southern or northern Cali?

I was banded in May and still have gas all the time. I think it just comes with the territory.

I hope this isnt forever lol cuz this is not kool

I always had a hard time passing gas, I'd stay bloated....

However since I have been banded I pass gas all the time, I like not being bloated but the only ones that think it is cool and funny are my 13 & 14 year old boys.......I have to excuse myself quite often LOL

Yea, I thought the gas would settle down..I fart like an rhino now. I have been banded a year. I think some of us breathe air into our stomach a bit and it has nowhere to go but downnnn now :seeya: Welcome to gas-band land :ihih:

I am with all of you I was banded in May and although I can't seem to have a regular BM I have tons of gas!!!!!!!!

Yea, the "tooting" is ridiculous. Do you think we can count it as a calorie burner? LOL

OK that is hilarious...and come on...if this can be considered 'tooting' George Bush could serve a 3rd term and all of America and the world would cheer and toot in happy unison! Ill be the one in the back letting massively loud, booming farts that can in no way come from any woman, fat one or not!

What a relief to hear that others suffer from this too! If my SUV would burn this gas, I would never have to fill my tank again! Will it ever go away? It mortifies my 12 year old daughter--but I can't help it!

Just a quick comment here. I was having a lot of gas, and then I read that Soy, (all forms) is the gassiest bean there is. I changed to a non soy protein source, and while it's not entirely gone, at least I can do my very public job without incident. Reduced to a more normal pattern of early morning bathroom tunes.

Whew. It's great to know that I'm not the only one nearly 3 weeks post op still experiencing bloating, farting, and burping. It probably doesn't help that I chew gum that only pulls air down into the stomach - Duh!

Yesterday, I was walking down the hall at work (on the way to the ladies room) and to my surprise (and thank God no one was behind me) gas bubbled down and out before I could make it there. How embarassing. Gee, now I know what my grandpa was going through.

thanks for all your responses! glad to know im not the only one LOL not real pleased to know i might have gas for the rest of my life but at least im not alone ! LOL great way to get a date ! my dogs are always lookin at me like "what the hell was that" LOL

fart like a rhino! HILARIOUS... LOL!

I was banded 07/02 and I too have the same problem, my fiance metnioned how much my 'tooting' has increased! The Gas-x helps a little bit, but not totally! I hope this will subside a little bit eventually!

Thanks for the laugh!
