Hey all! Ok this is totally embarassing! I just started going to a gym, signed up like 2-3 weeks ago. I go twice a week for a 1 hr zumba class. Love it but it's rough! I am 2 1/2 yrs post op but gained back alot of weight and now need to lose about 100!!! sob..sob.. So anyway I was in class tonight and I was super gassy!!! I kept tooting and nobody can hear it as the music is super loud but honestly they are pretty bad!!! I tried to add more fruit to my diet lately and don't think this is helping. I am active at work as far as walking though I also sit alot too, I work as a medical assistant. So when I go to this class and move alot I guess it's natural. But this is so embarassing! I tooted and the lady next to me was like waving a tissue in disgust, I had to pretend it wasn't me!! Does anyone else have this issue? I burp alot too! Is this just a normal post op thing?? I even burp when I drink water! Anyone??

I toot too.  Luckily, I work at home so it usually isn't an issue but it does happen more when I am active.  Sometimes going to the bathroom and getting as much out as possible at least lets me get through my shopping trip or whatever. 
I tried digestive enzimes, didn't do any good.  I have found some food are worse than others for causing gas.  I can't do soymilk without clearing a room.  However, beans which folks complain about, cause me no problems.
burping, only if I drink too fast or something too cold, including water.

Could you try doing warm up exercises before you go to the gym.  Maybe some streches will work out most of the 'internal air'.  When it happens to me - I just get a shocked look on my face - turn to face my husband and say "John!!!  Really!!!"  You could do that too to the person next to you.  He-he-he

Write down what you're eating. I'm betting you'll find the culprit, or
culprits. I can eat beans without problems like there's no tomorrow,
but chickpeas...look out!  Milk gives me problems, but cultured
dairy like cheese and yogurt...no worries. I can have some soy
but if I have it every day it gasses me up, so i limit my soy
to 3x a week.  I find new food "challenges" crop up from
time to time, so it may be something that you tolerated until
recently.  Good luck!

I can relate to your delima LOL My doctor is starting me on Devron which is chewable. This has helped many patients and they swear by it. I also carry Ozium spray in my bag and it kills that awful smell quickly!!! LOL

Good luck!
