I have tons of gas. When I eat I get gas, when I drink I get gas, when I am sitting at my desk I get gas. When it gets really bad I do take Gas X Strips but I am afraid of using them too much. I have learned when tummy is full I get very gassy and if I ignore it, I will want to die. Am I eating too fast, is this normal, is there too much Gas X Strips?

I am very good and do not drink out of straws or drink carbonation so I have no clue where all this stuff is coming from.

Beans, Beans - good for the heart. The more you eat the more you uhhhhhhh like them!

Any time I eat beans, or anything with wheat in it, I get gas. I can eat cabbage, onions, kraut, etc. and don't get gas too badly. If I eat too fast, I get hiccups. If I whizz my shakes too long in the blender, they have too many bubbles and I get gas.

I guess you could be real mindful of how you eat as much as what you eat. Log your food and see if a pattern of gas response is evident to what you are eating. Beano (you take one just before eating) should be your new best friend.

I don't even eat Beans. I would track it but it is literally everything that enters my tummy (well maybe not water). I am trying to get back into tracking everything I eat, but it is rather hard to get into the routine. Does Beano work better than Gas X? I think I need something I can take all the time. This gas is embarrassing.

I am 3 months out and I burp every time I drink Water. I just let it out quietly so I don't have to worry about gas X. I am pretty sure you can't OD on it. That is what they told me after my surgery.

      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?
