Gas-x, should I use it?

[LittleLizzieLilliput 919]

My surgery was 10/10. I had the BGS, gallbladder removed, hernia repair and the had to repair a gastric diverticulitis. When I drink or lay down for a while my shoulders and upper chest kind of hurt. This is from the gas used in surgery I think. I do lots of walking and sit up straight when drinking. I make sure to swallow small amounts but it's still a bit like swallowing an air bubble. Would Gasx strips help this? Thanks guys!!!

Absolutely. I used it for both my lapband surgery and revision surgery. It's was a lifesaver for me.

If it is from the gas they put into your abdomen for surgery, Gas X won't help. If it's because you are swallowing air, then yes it should.

Call your surgeon for advice, please? You paid him well.

I used Gas X Strips and they do not help the gas and air that you are feeling. The only thing you can do is walk walk walk walk walk.

Thanks guys! Ends up I have two kinds of gases running through I guess. Lol! Doc said Gasx will help with the intestines and walking us helping the shoulders/upper torso. Oh the gasses we passes! Lol
