GBLady41 393 Posted August 14, 2017 I am a newbie here, who just had MGB surgery on June 21. I am so excited to begin losing! Right now the biggest battle I am dealing with is the post surgery gas. I am really hoping it is a short term (post surgery) issue and not a long term problem. I have read various reports, but most of the, are from RNY not, MGB people. I would love to hear updates from those of you who are a bit further down the path. How long can I expect this gas? Any tips on helping? I am not in the US, so access to some meds for me might be difficult.I am 8 months out from MGB, and for me, I still have gas. It's not everyday, but when I have it, it's brutal. I don't take anything for it. I have heard some people taking Probiotics and that has helped them. But I just deal. It does get a little better with time. It has with me.
