Gas X strips was the only way I made it through the 1st week. I took 2 strips at a time, and took them 4 times a day!! They are the best!! Get some quick, you'll notice a difference!!
Gax-x has been my friend after every surgery. If it doesn't work call Dr G, if the air gets trapped it can be very uncomfortable. That is putting mildly by the way.
try the Gas-X. I didn't find it that useful but did live with my heating pad! that and walking helped the most. Good luck getting rid of that nasty gas.
I have maintained for one year at this point. I am steady at -120 pounds. =) 40 pounds lost pre-op
