Hi All, I am on day 4 and having gas issues. I have a huge (costco) box of gas-x soft gels. They look small enough to me but I am terrified of something getting stuck. Has anyone ever used them with, or without, success?

Thanks

Yep, I did - they were recommended to me. I didn't have any problems. They are about the same size a one of my perscriptions that I had to take and the doctor told me that was fine, but nothing any larger.

I used Gas X strips that go on tongue. If you don't want to chew you can suck until they dissolve.

the paper work from nyu said only take pills smaller than a tic tac

i read in other places to only take pills no bigger than an M & M

at first i was very strict about the tic tac rule....now almost 1 year later i have to admit i have take Vitamins and meds that were about the m&m size with no problem

I like the tic tac and m&m idea- gives me a better idea than a pencil eraser.

I used those pills 1 day after surgery no problem.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
