@Jleeds

welcome to the board!

i see you just joined our group 17 hours ago. always room

for one more newbie. (even though you are 4 years PO)

congrats on your wonderful weight loss - GOAL

at 4 years are you sure the gas is still WLS related? regardless

why you have this problem - talk to your family doc. (i hate

it when OP always say the above - but - he might have a

answer/solution that helps

good luck

How about a GasX-Beano cocktail? I can be a little Flatus FairyMaiden at times myself, it is embarrasing especially when there's no dogs or small children around to blame it on[emoji38]

I thought it was just me..LOL I had a VGS back in Dec. 2015 and never had this problem. Am now about 6 weeks out from my SADI loop surgery and am having a big problem with this as well. Working with a lot of people around me and with frequent meetings it is most definitely an issue. I am trying the Probiotics approach on a regular basis to see if it helps.

      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?
