Marathongirl 106 Posted August 16, 2014 Anyone have gas pretty much all the time? This just started for me, I would say a couple of months ago (Im 21 weeks post op). It never fails, it seems like my digestive system just hates me now. I never use to have a problem and now, its getting annoying. Help?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtickle 295 Posted August 16, 2014 I've had gas since I had surgery almost two months ago. Take some gas-x, it should help. Everyone has gas it's really not that big of a deal. My handbook from the surgeon's office says you are going to more gassy, that's just part of having the procedure we have had done. The only time I find it annoying is at the gym, when I am on the treadmill. I'm a farting machine on that thing. Lol! Good luck with your WLS journey...

sjday1101 0 Posted August 20, 2014 My surgery was in 2009 and I still have gas. Tell those around you it's not on purpose and live with it. The gas x is never handy when I need it. ie in the bottom of my purse(purse in the back seat while I drive of course). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4meonly 4 Posted September 1, 2014 How long does it take for the Devrom to work? Do you take it before or after a meal? These things are not on the bottle. Confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kayzeekat 15 Posted September 8, 2014 Oh boy do I ever. It's an everyday thing for me. But, I am lucky, it does not smell. It is not painful just annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
