Topic: Stinky Poops/Gas!! I can't take it anymore!!!

This is embarassing, but what the heck...

I hate that after I eat, my stomach sounds like there is thunder outside, or sounds like I'm farting, when in fact that is not the case. It's really embarassing.

What can I do about all this gas I have? Is the sound ever going to go away after I eat?
Why do my poops/farts smell so badly...much, much worse then before I had my surgery?

Note: I had my surgery April 28th of 2008. I went from 281 lbs (size 3x) to no a nice 155 (size 7). Woo-Hoo!

Topic: Tuesday Back on Track Check in

Is everyone okay? I apologize for my sporadicness the last few days. My schedule has been off from my normal routine and it has affected my computer time. Hopefully I will get back on track, definitely will be making more of an effort. So I have been doing pretty well the last few days with exercise, been getting in some nice walks with the dog. I know it is not nearly enough of what I need exercise wise but at least it is a start. I haven't been feeling great recently, pretty sure it is because of several different things that I can work on, 1. not getting enough sleep, 2. not getting my fluids in, 3. not taking my vitamins, and 4. too much fat & carbs in my diet. So a stronger effort I must make.

S - banana
L - leftovers

D - not sure yet

Have a great day!!!

You are really an inspiration. I have my surgery on 3/4/10 and keep going back and forth in my head about knowing I'll succeed to knowing I'll probably fail. Thanks for your post. It really encouraged me.
Best of luck and I hope you have continued success!

Topic: RE: Looking for VSG surgeon in VA

I chose Dr Moazzez for his history as a great general surgeon.   Spoke to numerous surgical nurses and the most common comment was if they needed surgery he was the one they would use. Dr Mo is a truly caring person as well.

   I also chose Fair Oak Hospital for their superior WLS program..   Their anestisists are all trained in Bariatric intebations. The nursing staff is the best.

Have your sister contact the local hospital and ask to talk with some the the VSG'ers.    Perhaps go to some support groups.    Still think local is best.

Good luck and feel free to contact me    Am available for a phone call too

Dr. Eric Pinnar in Reston does the sleeve. Although Reston isn't super-close to Richmond, there isn't constant follow-up required after a sleeve like there is with a band, so that shouldn't be much of a problem.

Dr. Elariny in NOVA does it, but he bills funky and may cost her more than another surgeon. Dr. Sudan is at Duke in Durham, NC which is only about 1.5 to 2 hours from Richmond. He does the DS, so I assume he can do the VSG. (DS has a VSG stomach.) Why can't she travel to MD?

Depending on how low it is, you may need more than once a week supplementation. You can post on the MB to andrea of vitalady for a good opinion from people who know their stuff. (Not that I'm saying your surgeon/nutritionist don't....)
