FLATUENCE AFTER SURGERY

LOL, make sure you have a hose or leave a crack in the door so you don't pass out.. 

I have never smelled farts like that before in my life. I wonder what Great Dane farts smell like.. 

MAN i dont want to know! i know the by products they put out are bad enough!

 I don't fart nearly as much as I did the first few weeks out.  On the occasional bad days I'll let them out and they'll smell like cabbage and I've not had cabbage in a very long time.  Even the dogs leave the room.

ive got a plan to put into action...when i feel one going to pop out, make it to the door and run like heck and then walk back in smiling.....ha ha

This is a common subject here. In fact one guy here suggested that we now can generate so much gas that perhaps we could be tapped as an aternative energy source. This was my attempted humorous reply to that post:

Being in the auto industry I can assure you that we take this subject very seriously. After years of exhaustive laboratory research and field testing the auto industry was forced to abandon this alternative energy source due to excessive sulfur content. Eliminating the sulfur at the source has been the only effective means of keeping this hydrocarbon fuel within EPA clean air act guidelines and meeting EPA combustible by-product emission restrictions in compliance with the Federal Clean Air Act. The California Clean Air Act  added further requirements and mandated double sealed, airtight connections between the source and the scrubber equipment prior to storage in double walled containment.
Testing with subject primates initially proved promising. A polybutyle interface with an cyanoacrylate adhesive seal provided 98% compliance while the subject was confined within a dual compartment polycarbonate containment sphere. All testing were later abandoned following a court order, of suspension of activities, as a result of a class action legal filing by the ASPCA, PETA and LIPS (Legals for Indigent Primates Society), on behalf of a chimpanzee individual named "Cooshi".

In simple terms we could not even find a monkey who wanted to live in a plastic bubble with a rubber hose Super Glued up its rear.

I should also point out that there were long term liability concerns from our legal departments as well as serious concerns and objections from our ergonomics committees.

i know one thing...friend who had it done told me dont light the fireplace too quickly...ha ha like crankshaft in the comics always lighting the grill...well this will be the same..ha

I found that putting a chunk of charcoal in the back of my swimming trunks cut down on the smell, but it didn't attract the ladies until I put it in the front of my swimming trunks... 

YOU GO MAN! .........ha ha

Yes, gas is a very common complaint. I know, I struggle with it a lot. The surgeon recommended DEVROM to make the smell less foul (www.devrom.com). I also take Beano with most meals and GasX too. Some people have it worse than others and I'm trying to figure out what foods make it worse. The hard part is the gas is typically generated low in the large bowel so it's a long time after eating when is gets bad.

Too much garlic seems to be a trigger but others on the boards have blamed carbs, artificial sweetners, sugar alcohols, dairy products and other things as well. Good luck - this is really not a lot of fun to deal with when its bad.

Many of us have good success taking those Devrom "internal deodorant" supps.   Be sure and get the capsules though and NOT the chewable tabs, as the latter contain sugar alcohols that can actually contribute to the problem.  

  I paid $40 for one of those charcoal seat cushions from some chiro's website who claimed to have invented them.  It was a joke ..  My "fart bubble" would just "squeak around" the pad and escape out one edge of it, rather than truly be trapped and forced to pass through the charcoal.
