First posting here....just learning the ropes!

Wondering if anyone has suggestions on gas x product...nothing seems to touch the constant rumbling and bloating!

And heart palpitations? Possibly dehydrated?

My surgeon's NP told me that the only way to get rid of the gas is to walk it out. She said that it's not really in your pouch, but just in your abdominal area due to being pumped full of air for the surgery. I'm 3 days post-op and the walking is definitely helping!!

I had RNY on the 12th. I am happy to say I have not had any gas whatsoever as I did with VSG. But I did use the Gas X cherry creme chewables then and they definitely worked nd were safe.

I had the same gas issues after my surgery as well, for me it worked its way out with time, walking around did help quite a bit. I had the constant rumbling as well, I actually still have it from time to time it does feel a bit....odd but it does get better and subsides significantly.

Makes sure you are getting plenty of fluids, its hard for the first bit after surgery, and don't hesitate to contact your surgeon if you are having any issues.

I never took any Gas X for it. Whatever gas I had in me I let come out naturally. It works for some, it doesn't work for others. I also walked and that helped a little. I've been using heating pads too, mostly for the discomfort after eating and for the gas.

But everyone I've seen mentioned Gas X said it didn't even help them...
