I have the WORST gas EVER!

I had my RNY August 16, 2011 and my gallbladder removed October 24, 2011.

I can literally clear a room. It wakes me up in the middle of a deep sleep.

Does anyone else experience this? Know of anything that can help when I don't feel like torturing my significant other?

i get gas so bad it goes up into my shoulder blade and neck and is very painful.. It's a side affect from the surgery.. I'm 18 months out and still get bad gas pains...However mine don't stink..

Devrom is a pill you can purchase online. It's supposed to help with minimize gas issues, but likely won't make it completely go away. Gas odors vary with patients and their current diet.  Ozium is a spray that's been around a long time.  It comes in purse sized 8/10 oz size, 3.5 oz size and a 14 oz size.  My wife had an early gastric surgery for wt loss in 1980, and she described her gas as "it could peel wallpaper". That's were we learned about Ozium from her surgeon, and we travelled everywhere with it.  It comes in several scents, but we prefer the original scent.  Auto parts stores usually carry it, but you'll likely find it else where, including online and other local stroes.  DAVE

I know exactly what you me.  I am having the same issue. So I will wait to read what works. I have heard people say sugar alchols contribute to smelly gas or the carbs that one consumes.
