Gas X Thin Strip Vs Gas X Chewable For After Surgery



Recommended Posts

i've gone to 4 stores and no one seems to have the gas x thin strips even walmart!! is it ok to get the gas x chewables? or will it be too much for the day of/right after my surgery? which is this monday nov 19th :)

also...no tylenol at any of the stores either...some kind of recall...just my luck...

You can probably find chiildren's tylenol liquid? Maybe dissolve the tabs in hot tea?

I used the chewables, actually found they worked a bit better than the strips.

CVS stores has what you are looking for. They also have tylenol and Advil liquid for children.

I realize and maybe in the minority but I had no gas pain absolutely no gas pain. After reading comments on this site I was really petrified of the pain but I have none. My doctor also said that using gas ex was just a placebo that would not have helped gas pain from the surgery.

CVS has their brand of adult Tylenol. Post op, I couldn't imagine having to they down tsp after tsp of children's liquid to get the recommended dose! Lol chewable gas tablets worked for me, I didn't try the strips so I can't attest to that. I am 6 days post op and can tell you each day gets easier. Good luck and God speed!

Omg, i just posted a similar question not long ago, i also couldn't find gas-x strips, I'm so relieved that chewable are ok :-) i also couldn't find the tylenol, the pharmacy was just to busy to ask for an alternative, but i think I'll try the store brand.... Such great info, everyone is awesome, thanks :-)

I loved the Gas X-strips. They didn't taste all that great, but they dissolved quickly and were easy to carry in my pocket.

      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.
