The smelly gas and stool problem that most gastric bypass patients experience will be a life long issue, the reason being is because we malabsorb. The food that reaches our intestines ferments and decomposes due to the re-routing of our intestines and also the fact that our stomach's no longer have the acid capacity and churning capacity to aid it's digestion, also the re-routing section of our intestines causes food to sit there stagnant for hours which cause the smells as our bodies no longer completely absorb the nutrients from our food and because the food isn't fully digested the bowl bacteria go wild with the partially digested foods and create obnoxious and foul smelling gasses and stool.

As Quoted to me by my surgeon

Idk if I'll feel the same way when I have it but I'm almost looking forward to it.. Is that mean? I threaten my fiancé all the time when he farts I say, " you wait I'm gonna Dutch oven you post op" he laughs but has no idea what he is in for.
