GAS!



Recommended Posts

Help me. I am almost 2 yrs out. For the past 6 months gas has been terrible. Every time I eat or drink anything I have terrible gas and belching. It is quite embarrassing at times. Then out of the blue last week I vomited what looked like coffee grounds. I called my dr the next day and he told me to go to the emergency room. They did blood work and a fecal test and all came back fine. They told me to go to a gastrointestinal dr and have an upper GI because it could be an ulcer. Naturally it takes more than a week to get in. I have an appointment next Monday. Has anyone had this gas issue?

No, but vomiting what looks like coffee grounds is quite serious. I would do a light diet until the upper GI.

I have terrible gas no matter what I eat too. It's extremely embarrassing. I try so hard to run and hide when I can tell it's coming. Sometimes though, there is no warning, and I want to fall in a hole.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
