Hello all,
I was wondering if fellow mgbers could answer a few questions for me, it would be extremely helpful for a decision I trying to make in regards to a revision!

Do you get too much gas through out the day?

Does your stomach makes an awful amount of digestion noises after eating?

And if you experience a lot bloating after eating?

I had an 8 foot bypass 4 years ago and really considering shortening it a a 4 foot. I feel I have learned enough control and am not too worried about gaining weight. It would be a good tradeoff to live more of a 'normal life' in terms of bloating and gas. I got my surgeons opinion but I would love to actually hear it from people in my position so any options or suggestions would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

Hi there,

This could be a simple as a dietary change.  Many of our foods produce a lot of gas.  Might want to check your food choices.

When was the last time you had an endoscopy?  This is always a good way to find out if there are actual physical issues with your tummy.

Good luck!

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

Hey,

I have tried every elimination diet known to humankind haha, with the guidance of my doctors. It's safe to say this isn't a diet issue. I actually have not had an endoscopy however it is probably a good idea as this problem seems to be getting worse, so thanks for the suggestion. I don't have symptoms that match up to an ulcer so do you know what else could they be looking for that would be causing these problems?

Thanks again!
