Just gonna ask...farting



Recommended Posts

I realize in the beginning after surgery we are all gassy. My husband (God love him) now says I fart louder than anyone he's ever heard and he wants to know if this is the new normal in our house. I have 2 friends who have the band and one said yes and the other says no. My hubby doesn't care if this is forever because at 45 he still giggles at farts. I'm almost month post-op. Thanks for any input regarding one's output (his joke he wanted included with the question)

Yep, I believe it might be the new norm.

Although there was more music than usual right after surgery, today things are generally quiet. Except for stomach gurgles. Don't get me started on those.

OMG....I fart all the damn time. Even if I try to hold it in, I can't. Sometimes when I walk in the hallway at work, I'm tooting away and just praying no one hears it. :lol:

It is the new normal for us ,it subsidies a bit after a little while , but my family & friends know when I say my band is playing today they know what I mean , but luckily & I have told them my s__t doesn't stink I would be so embarrassed if it did because when my band wants to play there's no stopping it , so everyone I know got used to it , but you will still have gurggles & flatulence it also depends on what I eat.

I can deal with the gurgle. I can even deal with the toots it just the toots that get stuck. Oh how miserable that makes me. It usually only happens when I am at work and eat too much or too fast...

Never ever passed gas prior to being banded. Now? Every.single.second of the day I could pass gas. I speculate it is the food fermenting, since it just sits longer in our pouch/stomach and becomes it's own methane production lab.

I finally had to get over the shame of it and now just release at will when at home. "It's medically necessary," I tell my family.

I fart and burp all the time, it is crazy because before I was so polite, always being a lady when it comes to burping and farting, now I am a trucker, all i said is sorry I have a medical condition... I stop going to my hairdresser for 13 years because she couldn't stand my burping... But is my life if you don't like me because i burp and fart you wont be part of my life. My husband and daughter are totally ok with it, the rest of the world does not concern me.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
