Well it's been over a year for me and yes I still have gas. I take Tums sometimes, but mostly I try to just let it pass quietly.

My doctor never told me about the gas.

I hope you can find your happy gas place.

I actually got to goal - below goal actually, my dad told me to stop. However, over the past few years I have gained back 30 pounds and need to lose them again. I have a closet full of the cutest colored jeans that I can n longer fit in.

I had my Gastric Bypass on 8/11 and am at the pureed food stage. My question is did anyone have problems with a LOT of gas at this point and if so what did you/do you do to help control this?

I had my op in Aug 2008 and I have had a lot of gas ever since. Everyone I know that has had a bypass has this problem and unfortunately I don't know of a way to stop it.

I am a little over a yr out and I remember having gas as well. It helped for me to lay on my stomach with a pillow on my stomach. If you are drinking alot of milk products you might be lactose intolerant as well.

Congratulations, and welcome to the club. About your gas: is it
"southern" or "northern"?

I have "northern" gas, but if I eat exactly the way my surgical team
instructed me to (30-minute meals, protein first, then veggies,
limited carbs) I have little gas indeed. But I don't often eat that
way. So sometimes -- often -- I get awful northern gas, esp. if I eat
and then drink, or vice-versa. Keeping to that regime of no fluids 30
mintes before or after really works wonders -- when I remember to do
it.

I don't recall what it was like at the puree stage, though. I'm about
18 months out, holding at a 100-pound weight loss.

I had bypass surgery in Nov 2008 and had a huge problem with gas afterwards. I'd get gas from drinking water. It has gotten better but I still get gas when I eat. A good burp after food feels better. Sorry I cannot be more help.

I had my gastric bypass in August 2008 and I have lost 130 pounds but I am still 230 pounds and no matter what I try I can not lose any more weight. Has anyone else not reached their desired weight?

I started at 287, aiming for 145, went to 169, panicked at seeing the
totally new (and very wrinkled) person in the mirror, and then slowly
slid up to about 187, and have stayed there for about a year. I can't
say I've been rigorous, though. I don't eat any sugar products at
all, and little or no "regular" bread or flour products, but I've
learned that hard way that "sugar-free" doesn't mean "calorie-free."

Someone in this forum once wisely said, "They fix your stomach, not
your head." Even at 100 pounds off, and holding, my head is still the
same one as before. I still have to deal with my relationship with
food as an addiction. Maybe someday they'll be able to poke a wire
into our brains to fix that, too, but that day's not here yet. We
still have to do the footwork.

I suspect if I drank as much water as they told me to, I'd be closer to 145.

Heather,

I'm at exactly the same spot as you! I had gastric July, 2009. I'm at 230 as well! I admit I'm not exercising as faithfully as I should, but I am moving and eating less. I appreciate the 125lbs gone, but I still feel so overweight being 230lbs!!
