They are typically easy to find, but you can also have her look for Gaviscon, Digel, or Papaya extract

I feel like a total newb for asking this -- but why are you guys all getting gas-X strips?

Does the surgery cause gas pain? Or is it the diet? Pardon my crudeness but...is there no way to just fart it out through the day like most folks?

I'm told gas (air) in system to help during the surgery. Most have told me that it's not easily passed the normal way... thus the gas-x strips.

Couldn't find the strips but I got the chewable ones. Will they work too?

Bree... After surgery, for most folk, any added gas in the system is uncomfortable at best. I use them a couple times a day. But also, in regards to eliminating gas the normal way... There is a phrase here... "Never trust a fart."

You made me giggle. Lets just say that at 18 days post-op, of my tummy gurgles I just head to the loo. Better safe than sorry!

Bree, you are hilarious. I enjoyed that laugh. I'm a few days out and it doesn't hurt to laugh anymore. That was great!

I burp A LOT. It has decreased considerably. Thank God! I take the capsule in the morning and then have the strips in my purse just in case I need them in the afternoon. Lately, I haven't had to use them very often at all. It helped in the beginning with gas pains from surgery as well. I used to even burp in my sleep, my hubby told me. So sexy! Ha ha!
