FatPharm 21 Posted May 7, 2017 I was sleeved Monday May 1. Sent my husband out for Gas-X, the little green simethicone capsules because I can take small tablets or capsules no problem. He came back with the chewable big chalky tablet type. Would chewables like this leave residue along the staple line that could cause problems? Are we allowed to have this type of tablet this early? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatientEleventyBillion 851 Posted May 8, 2017 chewables are fine just make sure to chew them very well. 1 FatPharm reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BusterBunker 8 Posted May 8, 2017 A better choice might be the Gas-X Strips. No chewing required as it desolves on your tongue. Dr. approved me to take them as soon as I was released from hospital the next day. 1 Unkle Jaye reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarinaGirl 609 Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) What are you taking the Gas-X for? Because it won't help minimize the discomfort or pain from the CO2 gas that was pumped into your abdominal cavity during laparoscopic surgery. That discomfort or pain is best alleviated with walking and time. Edited May 8, 2017 by MarinaGirl 1 Dashofpixiedust8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
