Hey Tom,
I know how you feel. I'm 3 weeks out from my takedown surgery. Gas is the worst. Feels like my pouch is going to burst. I have found that eating a soft semi liquid diet is the only thing that helps. Ive heard others say that taking an anti gas medication like gas x helps also. I plan on trying that next. I have an appt. With my surgeon tomorrow and plan on asking him the same question. I'll let you know what he says. Hope everything improves. Good luck and God bless.
