6 years out Nissen Fundoplication surgery-GAS!!!!

It's been 6 years since I had my surgery. I will say it was the hardest surgery I've ever had and I've had a few. The recovery was HE** but it was worth it in the end.
I ended up in the ER 4 months after my surgery as I didn't know that steak would cause my stomach to bloat and cut off the blood supply to my brain because the vegus nerve got "cut" off. I passed out!! Steak I was told takes a long time to digest. But I survived that and have always remembered to stop eating before the full feeling came. Something I still do to this day.
My only issue still to this day is the gas and bloat.
Every time I eat or drink water, coffee (no soda) I start farting like there's no tomorrow. Seriously there are days when I get so mad because it's bad.
If I hold them in, I get terrible cramps that are painful.
I've tried all of the gas medicines (OTC) to stop the gas and bloating but nothing works.
Does anyone else have the gas and bloating problems and if you do, what is helping you.
This is causing me to not be able to go out to dinner or eat with anyone else but my immediate family.
I have to go see my gastro doctor for a colonoscopy and she always does an endoscope so I will ask her about this but any thoughts would be appreciated.

8 months out, and I can still clear a stadium. that being said, I know within about 15 mins of eating, I take a walk. usually it clears up fast. I don't mind so much, its nice to have that pressure release. only those that have gone thru this, can appreciate, this thread.

mam1298....I am so sorry to hear this...I believe you helped me through my surgery a few years back. I used to get a lot of gas too and I started using a plant base enzymes and a high dose of probiotic (50 billion or 100 billion), one capsule per day. The plant base enzymes can be taken before each meal. These two products are all natural....you can find them in a health store. We tend to get gas because our food does not digest properly. Just my thought.

I still have some minor issues but I have learned to live with it.

OMG I thought that was going to happen to me because for a while I couldn't burp either....I am so sorry....I still take a gas x at night before bed.

I had NF 3 mths ago and still experiencing crampy lower abdomen discomfort and eat smaller portions and , yes gas. Did anyone else experience stomach discomfort (probably due to gas) 3 mths. post op. Fill so bloated all the time.
