Gas & Flying
Does anyone else fly regularly? I find that when I fly I become so gassy. Its so uncomfortable on the flight and for about the next year. I have tried simethicone but it doesn't help. Any other tips people have?
My theory is because when you fly the pressure changes and causes excess gas. Typically a person with a normal stomach would just have room for the expansion, yet we don't due to the restriction.

I haven't experienced extra gas related to flying but extra due to nerves or different food, yes.

are you chewing gum to make your ears pop? could be the gas. I haven't gotten approved for my revision yet but I do have the vsg and haven't noticed any more gas than usually (which is a lot) I just flew most recently in august 2015 been sleeved since 2011 but in general fly at least once a year. It could be the pressure or are you doing something different when you fly? drinking from a straw? not drinking from a straw? gulping in extra air to relax?( really deep breaths) ?
