KikiCC 83 Posted July 12, 2012 Anyone tried gas-x shortly post op? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GivingItMyAll 168 Posted July 12, 2012 My doc said no to any gas meds, he wanted me to pass it naturally. Every time I felt a tightness in my chest, I walked. Within the first week, all has discomfort was gone. Sent from my iPad using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minckle 87 Posted July 12, 2012 I took it starting Day One. They gave it to me in the hospital; it was the meltable strips, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cassieh 136 Posted July 12, 2012 I was given gas strips in the hospital the day after surgery. Im assuming it helped because I had no problems with gas while taking them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thinmymind 107 Posted July 12, 2012 I took Gas x soon after, but i am not sure that it helped. Walking is the best thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazzlebunny 4 Posted July 14, 2012 Still lots of gas for me, the strips just arent cutting it. I just keep walking. I have the acid reducer too, but not sure if it makes a difference or not lol. I just want to melt some of this fat off! I lost like 30 lbs pre surgery, I havent weighed myself yet since Ive been home... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
