Body odor is absolutely not under any cir****tances normal after the DS. I can remember exactly one patient around here who had B.O. as a result of surgery, and that surgery was the ERNY, not the DS. And the problem was that food was backing up into and decomposing in her blind stomach because of intestinal kinks. Very abnormal even for the ERNY.

Your poop will smell. Your farts will smell. I imagine they already smell pre-op, and you should no more want to expose people to these smells post-op than you do pre-op.

Ketosis can cause bad breath while losing weight. That is temporary and not DS-specific.

Um, looking at the context and content of your post, did you maybe mean to say that "Body odor is absolutely not under any cir****tances abnormal after the DS."?

No, he did not.  Sane people do not like to smell the stench that can be produced from their asshole, and in turn share it with those surrounding their cubicle.

You, of course, would be the exception.

Nope, I meant exactly what I said. If you have BO, DS or not, then something is wrong--and the same things would be wrong in either case becasue the DS does not cause BO.

If you fart in public, people are going to smell it and not like it--whether you had the DS or not.

Pardon my semi rude comment, its not directed at you...But what dumb ass just told you that? Of course by their use of grammar dumb ass is a perfect choice.

Yup I have horrible body odor, 5 years running. Its called people say I smell good. And I'm not a lotion and perfume person, I'm outside ALOT and bees are not something I want hovering around. People don't run away from me, most times I step back because they have invaded my personal space, LOL.

No most have no issues. There maybe a stray person here and there, but most of the time it is controlled with a few adjustments to diet. Rarely does it need to be done via lengthening the common channel.

Nope, unfortunately it's one of those lies that circulates about the DS. I have never had a body odor issue, nor have any of the dozens of DSers I've met and interacted with in person.

Put it right up there with "masturbation will make you blind" and "don't make that face or it'll stick".

I asked this question as well and a bunch of people on this board jumped down my throat saying that it was rude and where would I hear that! ?!  so thank you for asking it... now I don't feel quite so crazy.  I did some extra research since everyone on here was too busy feeling insulted by my question and i found that the odor mostly comes from gas or BM's but it also depends on what you eat.  I haven't had my surgery yet, I will be having it in December but I will for SURE let you know since I'm allllll about smells! lol PLEASE let me know what you hear and let me know what you find!

THANK YOU!!

Actually, a BUNCH of us did take the time to respond to your question politely and reasonably, myself included.

If that's how you want to lump everyone together, though, I guess I won't bother wasting my time responding to any more of your posts.
