Gas-x, Gas-x, Gas-x



Recommended Posts

Just banded 12/10. Surgery wasn't too bad but first day out was terribly painful. Not the incisions, but the gas pains were killing me. My stomach was bloated so big. Nothing I did could make me comfortable, no amount of walking, laying down, sitting. Pain meds didn't touch the gas pain. Finally dh got me so gas - x and I felt a hundred times better. For those waiting, I know on here it has been mentioned don't forget your socks, chapstick, take off your jewelry, well I am adding, make sure you stock up on gas - x. :wink2:

we have the banding date! my surgeon actually gave me a 3 ring binder with everything in it and it suggested gas-x. I don't have any problems with my stomach, its all in my left shoulder. but the gas-x disolvable strips are a must!

I went for pre-op testing last week and that's one thing they stressed...Gas-X and Gas-X strps. Said to bring the strips on surgery day and use them in recovery! Needless to say, whenI saw that Walgreens has Gas-X on sale today, I went out and got my a supply.:confused_smile:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
