Gas-X, Should I Be Taking This 2 Days Out?



Recommended Posts

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.

I took it starting Day One. They gave it to me in the hospital; it was the meltable strips, though.

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.

Walking is working best for me, as well as a heating pad. Let me know how you feel today!

I took Gas x soon after, but i am not sure that it helped. Walking is the best thing.

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...

Anyone tried gas-x shortly post op?

I am12 days out and nothing helped with the gas except pulling my knees up to my chest. I read somewhere to drink peppermint tea. I am feeling muchhhh better...so hang in there.
