Has anyone else have this problem?  Im 14 months out from Lap Band Surgery and I get so much gas from anything I eat.  I first thought it was from Splenda so I wont have anything with that in it.  But now even water will give me gas.  Its very hard to work in a small office and have to fart all the time.  The gas pains in my stomach are very uncomfortable.  I have an appointment with my band doctor to make sure no slips or anything but this happens all the time.   Thanks for any help you can give.

I do not have the band but read a lot on the boards and hear also from support group - are you possibly too tight with restriction?

Thanks for the reply I did go and see my band doctor and had him take out some.  He did say "I was pretty loose already" I do feel better and I am staying away from most artifical sweetners for a while.  That seems to do the trick.  But now I am pretty loose and have to really watch what I am eating.
