Walk, walk, walk and walk some more. I took Gas-X, but don't think it did anything for me - the walking was the best thing for me

I really didn't feel like walking or gas-x did me any good. Didn't hurt or anything, but didn't seem to speed anything up. Different strokes and all that

You have to walk, walk, walk, and walk some more.

Same for me. For some reason I found I could relieve the gas easier when I was laying prone on the couch watching TV.

I'll echo the walking, walking, walking comments... Gax X helped relieve the gas in my stomach, but not gas trapped in my body from surgery. A heating pad helped a bit too..

I did a lot of walking but I also found riding along in the car with my seat leaned back and my feet up on the dash board helped shake it all up lol really helped me.

There's a common theme here & everyone is right. I started walking 2 hours after surgery & every so often while in the hospital. Then, all over my house. It definitely helped. It does eventually go away!

Walking is the best therapy for this. Gas-X would work just fine. But, don't continue to walk much if you feel pain. Lie down, relax, ease up then walk some more.

Hey, if the walking isn't cutting it for ya gas wise......no matter, it's the best thing for DVT (clots) prevention anyway. Another little trick I used for gas. I have a adjustable bed, so I raise the feet and turn on the vibrator. Works great.

Walking really helped, Nexium for the gas it is an rx, and i also used a chair with full body message!

      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.
