 Really random Q... ive heard a lot of people complaining about producing a lot more stinky gas after having an rny... 

as a young person considering RNY, i was wondering if this has affected any of you guys? 
Is there anything you can do to prevent it?

I didn't have the gas pains after surgery.. but man. I know how to fart now! LOL

I have stinky farts when I eat carbs or eggs. Nothing else really produces the stinkers, but I always have gas. Just a part of not haveing that muscle there to let air in and out. I burb a lot, not belches, but the air just comes up, you don't really have much control of it, and if you try and stop it.. it HURTS.

so expect some extra air, and learn what makes you stinky! lol

Its really all about how your body handles certain foods post-op... you will learn as time goes on what makes yah stink and what doesnt. As for prevention... just avoid things that give yah the rumblies... or at least save them for when you are alone :-) or when somebody is stuck in the car with you (my BF looooves that!).

 That makes me laugh about being alone in the car with someone.  This is way too much info but once my husband and I were out and I was really bloated and let one go.  After a few seconds he was like, "Is there a sewer leak?" and I start laughing.  The he goes, "Please God tell me that wasn't you" .....hilarious.  

Oh, I love having the maturity of a 13 year old boy ;-)
