I still have gas 3 weeks post op...is this normal

[stephaniel71 0]

Hi everone! Can anyone help. Everything I eat or drink, I cannot stop burping. I am falling all the rules, what I am eating, how I am eating, how much I am eating. Then by the end of the day, not only am I still burping, but it is coming out the other end (sorry, I know too much information). And it is painful sometimes.

I figured this would pass by now. 3 weeks is a little crazy. Please, someone tell me if this goes away. Is this normal? Compared to the first 10 days, my gas issues are much better, but how long do I have to live with this.

Thanks! Burp....oops excuse me. :thumbup:

I had terrible gas pains right after surg. It was worst than the surg. The dr finally rx something for me, while in the hospital. When I got out it got better but I still have gas. The dr told me to take the liquid baby gas drops and that works! You can easily carry it in your purse or wherever. I take it in the car, at night, in the morning, after lunch etc. It is the best thing, by the way the off brand works just the same. Hope this helps.:thumbup:

Well I am almost 2 months post op and I am still... that part comes from the Protein. I still have the burping problem too. I have heard people say that it is from eating too fast but even when I eat slow I burp. OH NO...the band has turned us into redneck men!

Hey

I AM 7 WEEKs post op and there is no stopping the gas. its usually happens when you have eaten too fast and your band is trying to work really really fast to keep up with you eating!

its usually a warning sign to slow your eating down I have found it useful. so that is something too look at in a positive light!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR JOURNEY XX
