Anyone have extra Gas X strips they want to sell? Everyone seems to be out of stock



Recommended Posts

Sorry but all of mine are gone. In fact I was looking for some the other day and couldn't find any either. Now I know why.

Walking is the only thing that works. The worst part of my recovery was when that gas hit my shoulder and stayed there for 2 days...

I couldn't walk so I did use the gas-X strips for awhile. In my case I feel they helped cut the pain some what at first, but not enough. When that gas hit my right back shoulder I was in so much pain the Dr thought maybe my ribs were bruised from when they transferred me from the bathroom to my chair. That 2 weeks was more painful than the 3 surgeries I had. I cried out in pain every time I had to move from the recliner or the bed to my wheelchair. Finally about 2 weeks later the pain stopped. At about the three week mark I had enough strength to be able to use the rollator and walk for less than 5 minutes and use my tricycle.

After 3 days of searching the internet, I ordered from Walmart...and they sent me GELS not strips! In my worried rage I was determined to drive to every Walgreens in Miami....(they were out of stock on their website)... the first stop I made....last two boxes in south Florida apparently

It's officially an urban legend. They don't help. Get off your Ass and walk, walk, walk.

Gas X strips don't help that kind of Gas. The gas is C02 from surgery. You need muscle to burn that off, walking , toe push ups (against the wall) Walk backwards. Etc etc.

I have used them for debilitating stomach pain. It comes on almost instantly and the strips are the only thing I have found that helps me. I've been searching everywhere, if anyone has any they won't be using I am really looking hard. Some people on eBay are charging $20 a box and up.

I've tried the soft gels and they don't help at all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you kindly.

If you do find them, stock up. They're no longer being produced by the manufacturer.

      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.
