Gas pains

[achappex3 346]

I'm officially on the losers bench!!!

After almost a full year I had my rebirth day yesterday that being said, how long did your gas pains bother you? Pain is minimal and even then it's just the gas.

Blah!

My surgery was over 3 1/2 years ago and that is a long time to remember but I think I experienced gas pains for the first few days and it was primarily over with after about a week. Walking, walking, walking helps dramatically with this problem.

But be forewarned, after surgery, I found that I would fart more frequently. And there was a short period of time when the saying "Never trust a fart" applies. Fortunately this period of time is very short. So exercise caution. There is nothing worse than soiling yourself when you are out and about in public.

Congratulations on your surgery.

Hi, after surgery almost 2 years ago I have turned into a "Lean Mean Fartin Machine!" The gas pains I had were horrible. Gas X gave me some relief, but they were still loud & smelly. I caught my cat giving me dirty looks! Lol, All you can do is treat it the best you can & most importantly, you have to have a good sense of humor & laugh at yourself! I have never regretted having the RNY! Good Luck To You!
