So I've been reading about what happens to fat when it is used. Amazingly I never really knew where the fat went when I lost weight.

My understanding is that the fat cell remains. When certain hormones are release the fat cell empties its contents of fatty acids into the blood stream to be used as energy. One of the byproducts of this is GAS.

If this is correct, that explains why I feel like my doctor installed one of these.

Wow! Then my Fatty acids must be running through my blood stream!!! LOL!

:thumbdown::lol::lol:

I never realized that this is a byproduct. That explains why I was so gassy in early banding and not so much now, lol.

mlafentres...great info!!!

Jack...funny!!! LOL

Thanks for posting this. I am so sick of this gas. I never had gas like this before the band, so I could not figure out why I have it so bad now. Your post makes sense!

Thanks again,

Oh Yea! Bring on the gas. Hehehehe. I want to get rid of the fat.....

I never understood why since my surgery 4 months ago I have had soooo much gas. How embarassing! Because I never had gas like this prior in my life. It's good to know that it is related to laband. But now how do we remedy this?:thumbdown:

I'm so happy but wary to hear this, as I've been burping so much and so loudly (never did before) and am wondering how I'll handle this when I go back to work on Tuesday! I'll have to keep my door closed all day, but it mostly comes when I'm walking around!
