I should also add that I have a large hernia which I'm almost sure is the reason for the gas ad I do not want to take medicine. I try drinking hot tea ad I always walk...

I had/ have the same problem. On another thread, someone suggested it might be caused by the I digested sugar alcohols hat are in the sugar free foods we eat or drink. I'm not sure there is much we can do about it, but Probiotics or a superfood powder product might help with digestion issues. I have noticed that since I have been taking Miralax daily and taking a serving of superfood powder every day, the gas has gone way down. Between month 2 and 4, the gas was really bad for me and had a methane smell (TMI!!!)

Talk to your NUT. You probably need to look closely at foods that cause gas IN YOU. Many ppl become lactose sensitive if not intolerant after VSG. cheese has more lactose than yogurt. Milk is the gassiest offender of dairy. Many carbs can cause gas. Including complex carbs. I have a friend who can not eat granola with out bloat and gas. Then there's the gassy veggies...

Make sure you're practicing the basics of chewing and not gulping....

Are you going to repair the hernia? Where is it? Im almost four months postop and I just had an incisional (abdominal) hernia repaired on Monday.

My hernia also caused by csections. My hernia was held in place a fat plug but as you lose fat the risk of obstruction is high. A year seems a long time...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
