Farts after the surgery!

So my coworker told me of a horror story that one of his old coworkers got the gastric bypass surgery and afterwords he said that she had the worst smelling farts and that she farted all the time. Is this true?? Is it a case by case situatuion or commom?? Please let me know!!

Hi, I'm 2 weeks post op and really did not get the farts. I belched alot. However, having a bm does smell and the farts that do come also smell. 

Thanks for the information!

Certain foods can make some people stinky, so being aware of trigger foods is helpful.

It's also possible to get unbalanced in the gut, and need to take antibiotics to kill off whatever is flourishing, and reestablish good "bugs" by taking something like probiotics.

Ok I will remember that...Thanks!

I also thought that this surgery had turned my guts sour! I would pass gas and it would linger for what seemed like hours but was def a few minutes! I couldnt figure out what it was and discovered that it is milk. I have heard from other RNY that milk gives them very very potent gas. I no longer drink milk due to my "lactose intolerance" or rather that people cannot tolerate my gas when I drink milk!
I can eat cheese, eat 1 small container of yogert and no smell.
A BM stinks no matter what you eat. at least there is less volume

ps I fart all the time but they are odorless and silent. I like to mention it when people ask me: do you get bad gas? I say: Im farting right now......  when you tell people that you had surgery they will ask the weirdest things and that is one of my favorite replys!

That was very helpful! Thanks!!! :)

3 weeks post-op and i already fart a lot less than i did going into it.  whether they smell any better or worse... well it would be hard to get any worse.
