I just had my surgery yesterday. The gas is slightly painful. I was wondering how many of you took chewable Gas X at this point? Since I'm only on liquids I was concerned if it's ok. Any advice from my now fellow bandits?

I didn't get any till day 3 post op and took them till day 5 (but if I had them day 2 I would have taken them). I'm finally feeling better today, day 6. But I think any walking you can do helps SO much!! Even marching on the spot if you can't get outside.

I used the one that dissolves on the tongue. I started right away because that gas was really, really, bad. It woke me during the night. I would get up walk around the house for 5 or 10 min. and go back to bed. 3 nights like that, no other pain or I wouldn't have made it.

I was banded 8/15, and i took gasx right away, you chew the heck out of them and they basically disappear. I know what you are going through. OMG.. thought the gas was the worst. And walk walk walk..as much as you can. by 3rd.day i was so good, i went to the store yesterday and had people over until midnight last night. each day will get better. I am still popping the gasx couple times a day. Good Luck!! you have a couple of days of bad before it gets good again!!

I started with the chewables on day one. AFter 4 days I learned about the "tabs" that dissolve on the tongue. They seem to work much faster. I am 7 days post surgery and still passing gas, and feeling very bloated most days. It seems to be getting better with each day that passes.
