Gas and pain 9 months out

[Trisnah77 0]

Hello everyone, I’m 9 months out from my sleeve surgery. Had an easy post op without complications. However for the last 4 weeks or so I have moments where I get such bad gas (not flatulence, but painful, loud, trapped gas). I haven’t figured out exactly what causes it although the other night I ate some hummus and I immediately knew it didn’t go down well and felt full and like I had a rock in my tummy. After that happens it’s like 12 hours of pain and huge loud thumps and thuds. Then my insides feel like they’ve went through a war and they feel pain for a couple of days. I’ve now lost a little too much weight because I’m so scared to eat anything that will cause this. My hair is still falling out, I’m not eating enough and I’m usually in pain. I have an appointment with my surgeon but in the meantime I’m desperate. Anyone else have any experience with this?

I'm glad you called your surgeon, but I'm wondering if your system is having issues with carbs. Or at least certain carbs. I know carbs are hard on DS patients - they can get gas and diarrhea from them. I don't think I've heard much of anything regarding that with sleeve patients, but if it's happening after eating hummus, that COULD be what's going on.
