Lap Nissen Post-Surgical Questions

I had my lap nissen procedure in September, 2010.  It is now more than than six months since the procedure and I have two issues needing resolution.  1. I have a new nickname called Sir Fartsalot, how do I get this under control? 2. I get an upset stomach and occasional diarrhea, how do I get this under control?

Any help is greatly appreciated.  My doctor had me take Mirilax for a week but it did not help.

Thanks!

We all seem to experience some type of bowel problems after this type of surgery. For three months after my surgery, i had the runs very bad. It has been 7 months since my surgery and i still have bowel problems of gas, bloating and still, not a FIRM stool. Diet is to be of control for this like Joy said above in fiber and other bulk foods. For me, nothing has worked due to a botched surgery. We are not all the same, so what might work well on one person, might not work on another. Watch what you eat - see about PPIs from your doctor to control acids inside the stomach. Madam Toots, has been in touch with a lot of people and knows what she is talking about. Good luck Bob
