Christy26 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Ok, I am very new to this board, I have been reading as much as I can on here and I keep reading about the bad gas cramps and how walking helps... well here is my question.... How is this gas going away? Is it burping or????? I'm trying to prepare my boyfriend!!! lol Is there any specific food that causes this or is it everything until you get settled with the band? My surgery is set for January 7th. Thank you!
AngelaAnn Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Prepare your boyfriend!!! The gas is worse in the beginning, but I am ten times gassier now than before my surgery and most of it isn't burping.
CindyLou Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Yep, gas from both ends for me!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mlgpdx Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 oh man.. I remember the first 4-6 weeks after surgery were brutal regarding gas! yes farting and burping... ugh. Now that I'm 8 months into it I BURP a lot! I've always been a burper but since being banded it's waaaay worse. It doesn't bother me but it does occasionally gross out my friends/family. They give me the "look"... and I'm like.. what?!?! as far as the farting goes.. I rarely have gas... it's waaay better than before I was banded and I would be soo gassy from all the crap food I ate/overate.
vangirl Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 I'm burping a lot, more than the other thing. I was going to ask this question myself, as I was wondering if this is something that is going to last.
Christy26 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Posted December 2, 2008 LOl great..... thats something to look forward to! Well atleast I will be prepared and except it. Does it go away after a while or is this going to be the price of being skinny? lol
lovinlifedfw Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 HAHA My Fiance thinks its funny! I get embarrassed ALL the time when it happens
CottonwoodAZ Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Well as Shreck says Better out than in. The first 4 weeks as much as you can pass the better (thats how you get rid of gas on belly) I do burp more than I ever had before but I guess it is the price of being skinner LOL
ckiki Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 LMAO, I am so glad someone asked this, because I was always curious about that.
salena Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 Hello, The plane ride home was brutal for me!!! It was worse then labor ! Don't forget the GasX
jhawkchick75 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 It's hilarious...I was never able to burp now I can and do all the time. Comes out the other end too. Guess I should have found me a boyfriend before huh!
vangirl Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 ... Guess I should have found me a boyfriend before huh! Haha, me too! I guess I'll have to prepare whoever comes into the picture. "Oh by the way..."
determination Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 Hello, The plane ride home was brutal for me!!! It was worse then labor ! Don't forget the GasX Salena, thanks for the honest answer. I actually asked the question about the plane ride home earlier today, but I can't remember what blog I was in. I have a very hard time remembering which one is which. This is also a learning experience for me. Anne
