SuchaPrettyFaceBUT 30 Posted March 3, 2013 I've read that a lot of people use these post op to relieve the gas pain. But I can't find them in stores so I'm going to buy them online. Do they really work? Do they ( meaning dr and nurses) let you use them in the hospital post op? I guess if anyone can tell me are they really worth it?

ISleevedIt 380 Posted March 3, 2013 I bought a box at Walgreens Drug Store and found I didn't need them. I was told to walk around to relieve gas pains. Never really felt any gas pains. I only felt one of my incisions and it was tolerable that I only had one dose of pain med right after surgery. so I guess for me, it wasn't worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ladydawg2009 39 Posted March 3, 2013 Look in the antacid aisle. Since they are strips that dissolve in the mouth, they can be used in the hospital. I paid about 3.50 for a box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGamer 406 Posted March 4, 2013 They work, at least for me, and they work fast. I still use them occasionally. I picked mine up at Walmart.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

desert19 93 Posted March 4, 2013 Gas-X strips tasted absolutely gross to me. I went back to using the chewable Gax-X and they work just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rosehips 121 Posted March 4, 2013 You guys are fortunate to know about those strips. My pains from the gas they use during the operation made me close to tears for 5 DAYS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
