Question Gas Pain....ouch!

ok. this is the second time post op that this has happend to me. Luckily i didnt panic like last time. I had gas pain today so bad i thought i was having a heart attack LMAO!!! shortness of breath, sweating, stabbing pains UGH! took a deep breath, took some gas x, and it passed

i havent eaten anything out of the ordinary, but this does happen occasionally. anybody else get this for no reason? also, medically speaking, is there a reason why? i mean is this as a result of the re-routing or am i just a freak? (dont answer that LOL!)

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I get the gas pains to Kenya. They make me double over. Never had trouble b/4 surgery. I guess it is one of those things we have to work around. I keep gas pills with me all the time now. Makes you have more sympathy for small babies when they get them...

I just had my first bout with gas pains Tuesday nite. At first I thought, "what did I eat, is it stuck??" then I laid down, no relief, got up, no relief. I started to panic, cause my husband was in town late and I was really hurting!! I thought, "this has to be the gas pains I have heard about!" so I sat and wondered what I could have ate that caused this, couldnt come up with anything. It eventually "passed" and I was okay! I will be buying some GasX next trip to town! I have had gas, usually from too much sugar free foods, but it never came with pains, I cant figure it out either.

To your Q.
The shorter absorbtion route means shorter length for the gas to be absorbed as well. You see, a lot of the gas produced in the intestines are also absorbed, too.
Another reason is your bacterial flora in your instestines has changed, and so is producing more gas--we all have beneficial bacteria in our intestines that helps with digestion and absorbtion, and the balance there has changed. Yougurt is good in this aspect.
