Gas-X / Nail polish / A no no in hospital?



Recommended Posts

I'm having a Band to RNY on Wednesday, the 17th.

Are we aloud to use Gas-X chewables while we're in the hospital or will it clash with the Doc ordered meds and/or mess with the natural release of the gas?

Also, to the women, I know no make up or jewelry, but can I polish my toenails? Fingers?

Did you have polish (gel) going INTO surgery? Hands AND feet?

I'm pre op but I've been doing a lot of research and a lot of people are using the Gas X strips while in the hospital. You place the strips on your tongue and it dissolves, so it shouldn't interfere with any medications or the procedure. Hopefully this helps :)

Hey ladies! I'm a girly girl, but can get dirty too! To answer your question, for my surgeries and hospital stats, I like to feel a little pretty. So to keep everyone happy, I just go with a pretty, American manicure on my fingernails and a French on my toenails. That way, they're able to have visual access to my nail beds. I even get my hair done, so I don't have to bother with it for a bit and I make sure to have cute jammies for my stays. I always tend to feel better when I feel I look cute. You know? ???? Cheers and best wishes to you!post-256340-14344086105521_thumb.jpg

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
