Newly Pos-op Gas question
C -
My Doc had me take 2 Pepsid tabs every night. I beleive that Gas-x and Pepsid are about the same. Not 100% sure. I took them right post op. I dont have to take them anymore because the passing of the gas has become, well, back to normal.
Hope it helps.

Cameron,
For that "trapped Gas?"
most docs allow and even recommend Gas-X.
And, a little trick from my Dr. ?
Lay on your left side with your knees slightly bent.
A pillow between your knees.
In this position, because the way our intestines are arranged,
Gravity will aid the natural peristalsis of the intestines
And the "Trapped Gas" will "Pass on Through" much quicker.
When you can, Walk.
The motion of walking also helps greatly.
That and Gas-X were Great for me.
Only about 5 days since surgery?
Oh Yeah! That Gas can be a major Pain!
Glad to see your home! And "On the mend!"
Hope you’re feeling better soon!
Best Wishes-

The simethicone definitely helps with the gas. Often a good value on anti-gas medicine is ROLAIDS® Multi-Symptom. http://www.pfizerch.com/product.aspx?id=438
