Q: Gas pain after gastric bypass

Hi,

6 months ago I had gastric bypass surgery. And I'm frequently, for the last 2 or 3 weeks, experience very painful gas pain in my midle section...sometimes so painful that I feel like fainting.

I once went to the E.R., because of this and the doctor gave me Pankreoflat, that calms the pains and I usual take it to prevent the pain after the meals.

I try to eat slow, and chew well the food...but sometimes I still feel this disconfort.

What should I do?
