Thanks to all of you for your support. My husband is doing great and
with no problems at all! In my case I really don't think its gas
because as long as I am not eating I am perfectly fine. The problem
starts once I put food in my mouth, even water. I talked to Dr.
Espinoza and gave me some medicine and it seems to be helping a
little bit, but still get the growling. I hope it goes away with
time cause I don't want to be taking that medicine forever it is
yuckee. And Sherry....congratulations that is great, hopefully my
husband will be a fast loser as you are. So far he lost since the
preop close to 30 pounds in my case I only have to lose like 60 lbs
so I know it is going to be slower but as long as it is steady I
don't mind. I lost 10 lbs after surgery (2 weeks ago) so I guess it
is not that bad.
