Tip For Gas Relief

[RickLB 3]

My surgery date is Mon 2-28-11. I went to my final lap-band class today and the nurse gave me a tip to relieve some of the gas problems after surgery. She said to take a Gas-x strip right before I go to the hospital. She said it would really help me not to be so gassy after surgery. I thought I would pass it along.

sounds like a great tip, I'll definitely keep that in mind.

That is a great tip. I'm having surgery Monday, the 28th too. I am so excited that it is finally here.

I just started my 2 days of Clear Liquids.

Good Luck!

I would definitely do whatever she suggests. I'm three days post-op right now and the majority of the pain I'm dealing with right now is gas...the incisions themselves seem to be feeling pretty good and look like they are healing really quickly. The gas though...I wasn't expecting that...
