Question:
Is it ok to take gasX?
I am 4 days post-op and I feel like a Macy's Parade balloon. I dissolved two gasx in tee. Is that ok? — beccay10 (posted on February 7, 2010)

My nurse said it was fine. As a matter of fact she said you may need it
after the surgery.

I was told it would not help because it is gas in the cavity of your body
not in the digestive tract, but hey if it works then great!

My surgeon recommended it and it helped me a great deal. The gasX with
walking combined did the trick most of the time.

so is this a continuing problem for most folks? I had a gastric sleeve 6
weeks ago and I am constantly blown up. I seem to need gasx two or three
times a day. Will this continue, and is it safe to take so much gasx for a
long period?

My doc recommends that brand - in the strip form. Don't have to dissolve
them anywhere but your tongue. They help some. More with the empty belly
sensation in my opinion. Mostly it's the walking that will help with the
surgical gas used to inflate your belly cavity. It has to be absorbed thru
the circulatory system but moving around helps to displace any pockets
(upper shoulder area is most common). Hang in there, this is the worst of
it. It gets better & easier with each passing week.
