post surgery flatulence*

[LadyJ314 57]

Ok i know this is kinda gross but i never farted like this pre surgery is it normal to have gas constantly post surgery?

[kll724 3,055]

Yes, you might get it from either end. Farts or burps, normal!! Also, I had tummy rumbling so loud people could hear it. It won't last forever, tho'! Best wishes, Karen..aka.kll724

I warned my fiancé preop that I'd have this problem and not to laugh as I need to get it out and not be self conscious. He did really well at ignoring it! It's normal.

9 months post-op and still got it. At this point, I just tell my kids and BF "It's medically necessary" everytime they shout "Ewwwww....gross!"

I'm 8 months postoperative and it's better and at least controllable. Nothing like a crowded elevator.....

Oops since 12/28/12!! Last. Night was particularly bad after I ate some cheese grits and coffee at Denny's! No more cheese grits for me! But I have that darn flatulence everyday! Sometimes it's not too bad but it does get embarrassing lol!
