DO GASX STRIPS REALLY HELP GAS PAIN IMMEDIATELY AFTER SURGERY



Recommended Posts

They help with gas inside the stomach. They don't help with gas inside the body cavity. I took them for the first couple of weeks. They would probably be more helpful now, some foods really get my stomach rumbling.

Thanks for the fast reply

This makes sense.

Gas-X might help with intestinal gas, but it won't help with the gas (carbon dioxide) they use to inflate the abdomen during surgery. Because that gas doesn't get into the stomach or the intestines, Gax-X won't do anything to relieve the shoulder, neck, and back pains

No they don't help. The gas is outside your GI tract, you they use it to raise your organs. GasX is useless.

I used Gas-X with minimal affect. May have been more psychological than anything. Walking is what helped me most. They pump the gas to swell up your body cavity so they can access the area they are working. This has nothing to do with where Gas-X targets. It eventually gets absorbed into the digestive system where you get amazing relief in the for of flatulence:-). Gas-X may help a bit but really walking is the key.

I had Gas-X because I read it was a necessity. They were but not for the purpose described here.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
