Does the gas go away?

[Briswife15 890]

So, I new here, and doing lots of reading of posts, and have discovered one unpleasant side effect of gastric bypass, namely the malodorous flatulence. I'm still trying to decide between RNY and sleeve, but having lifelong smelly gas may be the dealbreaker for me!!

It is manageable. You can always duck into a restroom.

I don't have malodorous gas, but I am more gassy than before surgery and damn if I don't burp after I eat, as others have reported.

I do use GasX more frequently than before surgery - but it's completely manageable and hasn't impacted my life at all. It really depends on what I eat too so I've learned what causes the most problems and if I chose to eat that sort of stuff I just make sure I'm among friends.

Thanks all of you for your helpful responses! I'm leaning towards RNY, and your replies make me feel much better!!
