doxiegirl 3 Posted January 19, 2013 I am three weeks post op and still have terrible gas! Is this still from surgery or is this a forever thing with the lap band? I take enough gas x for a village Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted January 19, 2013 Not TMI at all, in fact a very common question I can't speak for others, but I won't lie, I'm tons more gassy now than I was before being banded. I personally think it's because before I was eating mostly processed carbs (junk food) and fat. Now, I eat a lot of lean meat and veggies. Both are great for you but both also tend to cause a lot of gas. 1 destynee1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jewelsm1127 351 Posted January 19, 2013 Happens to me too. At first I couldn't belch so there was only one way for it to come out! Now I'm burping again so that helps a bit. But no matter which way it comes out it does happen every day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doxiegirl 3 Posted January 19, 2013 Oh no! My 6 yr old has told me I drown out the dogs barking with my burping....we won't even discuss the other end 0-0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted January 19, 2013 We can make our own music walking down the hall! The pains go away, but the gas continues I am afraid. I think it is a result of the high amounts of protien we eat! 3 destynee1, DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! and Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terry Poperszky 2,784 Posted January 19, 2013 I personally am looking into converting my car to run off of methane, although I haven't worked out capture system quite yet. 5 Instyle98, destynee1, Maddysgram and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetsoutherngirl 32 Posted January 19, 2013 I must join in and say that I have more gas than I can remember having before being banded. I burp all the time. As long as it is not painful I dont worry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1aman 944 Posted January 19, 2013 Well this is weird...... because I have less gas than before. I assumed it was because I was eating healthier. Now I am not sure. 1 Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted January 19, 2013 Oh no, what are we doing to the ozone layer?! Terry if you come up with a capturing method let us know, I'll make an investment. lmao 1 cheryl2586 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
destynee1 417 Posted January 19, 2013 I have a bit more ghas but not that much more! After surgery though it lasted for about a month then subsided. Eating a lot of veggies surely does contribute though!! lol.. I'll take the veggies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
