Gas-x, Gas-x, Gas-x

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:
