Question:

Does anyone know of anything that we can take to assit with the foul odor associated with BMs/flatulance? I recently was revised to a distal and have found that the odor is wicked--much worse than I experienced with my vertical bnding or proximal RNY. I have seen air freshners etc. but was wondering if ther is a product we can take to help things "on the inside".    — Joanne M. (posted on April 9, 2003)

Joanne, you can purchase Devrom chewable oral tablets. I've heard these are okay. Check www.parthenoninc.com and/or call 1-800-453-8898 for a free sample.

I also recommend Devrom but also cut back on carbs especially white flour and potatoes. That's what causes my gas. They sit in your large intestine and ferment. Good luck.

Hello! I had the lap band surgery about 2 years ago. I had been trying to find a good liquid liquid vitamin/supplement and someone introduced me to Vibe. I had the same problem you described in your post. I have been taking it for a year now and feel so good in so many ways. I want to get the word out to fellow lap band/gastric bypass patients. If you are interested in hearing more about it, or trying it for a month, please feel free to call me and ask questions.
