So if you have had issues with flatulence since the lap band surgery and you know what the medical reason for it is, please share. I'm just wondering why I am having so much now, it has been 2 1/2 months since surgery.

Thank you!:laugh:

Does it seem to happen for you after meals?

Thank you!:thumbup:

OMG the gas is horrible! I've been told it's just going to be like this since it's common in band patients. It's been 6 mos for me & I still have problems. Good thing I live alone.

well i guess my gas is worse after meals but it is all day. i just thought if i knew the medical reason, maybe i could change something.

Look at what you are eating - I'm only on the mushy phase right now but as I've been checking out the recipes, I want to try the chili/beans but I KNOW that is going to give me gas. I will eat it if I know I'm not going anywhere afterwards. Do you notice it more after eating certain foods or is it consistent with everything?

I am 3 weeks out, and thank God I have all boys in my house, GAME ON

Hi CCL, good to see you here. I need your help, please check the dog board for a private message that I will compose in a few minutes...

I too fart alot. I keep gas x in my desk drawer at work, a mini spray of Oust, a scented candle on my desk and walk really really fast, when I get the toots. :thumbup:

I am so glad that someone posted that. I was actually just wondering the same thing myself. I am only 3 weeks out and I know it is not the same gas as right after surgery, but my goodness. My husband said he was going to send me to a private island! :thumbup: Am I going to be like this forever?

If you wan't to make a chili recipe that does not cause gaz and disconfort, while cooking had a few drop of vinegar. It doesn't change the taste but it nutrilize the enzime that produce the gaz. You will never have gaz after eating chili if you put vinegar in it.
