Hi, I had really bad gas after I had my gallbladder removed about 10 years ago, but with the gastric bypass it got even worse (if possible!). Poor husband puts up with it but when I worked in an office I was kind of the "butt" of jokes about it. Now I will try your suggestions!

I thought I was the only one! I get gas more often but not really a lot but they are horrible in smell and not to be gross but so is the bowel movements. I have horrible problems with being able to go due to the Vitamins and so sometimes i have to use a stool softener to help and then oh boy watch out as soon as I fart and it smells like the living dead I know to get to the bathroom. LOL

Well, I don't have a cure for the gas; but I have found something interesting. Here lately I have had this uncontrollable urge to eat oranges and drink orange juice. I don't know what is going on with that, but it seems like I just can't get enough. One thing that I have noticed since my orange fascination, is that the gas doesn't have that horrific smell any longer. I know that this is not a long term cure , but I will take what I can get for now. And so will my family. Lol

All I can say to my family is "Aren't payback a B!"

I never played a band instrument in high school, but after surgery I apparently learned how to play the trumpet. Who knew?

I had the RYN surgery last Thursday. I had nausea at first which was attributed to the hydromorphone they gave me in the pain pump. Now that the nausea and dry wretching is done, I have noticed a lot of gas, painful gas. Some say it is because of the CO2 they pumped me up with, but almost 5 days later, every sip I take I have a huge gas bubble that gets lodged and I have to painfully burp it out. I am even taking chewable gas pills to help with it. It doesn't smell yet (my husband and kids would let me know) but the pain I am experiencing the most of is from the gas moving around. Any suggestions on how to best rid myself of it besides walking.

I've heard a heating pad works wonders

I was the same way and I switched to the gax x that melts on your tongue. It helps and works a little faster than the chewable. Move around a lot the more the better
