Walking is what helps gets rid of the CO2 gas that is pumped into your abdominal cavity during laparoscopy surgery. Gas-X does NOT help as it is for gas within your GI tract, which is not the cause of pain & discomfort post-WLS. It is an Internet fallacy that you should use Gas-X right after bariatric surgery. Save your money and just walk, walk, walk.
Everybody and their surgeon is different. Both surgeries I was given Simethicone(Gas X) in the hospital with my daily meds and PRN. Along with the gas X I bought myself & walking my pain was manageable. I would see what the surgeon recommend and go from there.
