If you are passing gas and burping that is the BEST thing you can do. The more that goes out, the less pain of trapped gas you will have to endure. I think my gas finally pretty much went away at 30 days. Kinda comes with the territory though.l Unavoidable.

I don't know, but at 6 months out I still have problems with excessive and potent flatulence. Often it is accompanied by sharp cramping like you have with diarrhea, but that is not the issue. Anybody have thoughts on this or is this something I need to learn to live with?

      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?
