Do you have gas more since lapband?

I have so much gas when eating and after it is gross! My husband noticed after banding and I was in denial at first, but now I know the band has produced more gas. Sometimes I have to get up from the table in order to go to the bathroom to pass it. It sucks, but it is better than being overweight. I haven't tried anything to help it, but I assume gas X or tums would help.

I said a little more gas . . . but really it was heavy additional gas the first few months but it tapered off and is pretty manageable now.

It is almost like my body had to adjust to the changes, but once it did the gas was not so much of a problem. Now I have slightly more gas than before, but not so that anyone other than my husband would notice.
