Q about gas
on 1/29/10 5:55 pm - United Kingdom
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 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!).
