Hi! My husband and I were banded on Monday the 19th - 3 days ago. When they do the surgery they blow up your stomach with co2 and I actually found that the gas pain after the surgery was more significant that the pain from the incisions. Our nurses said that we can use GasX to help move that along but we still have to walk it out.

I've taken 4 or 5 GasX pills in the past three days and I've been walking a lot. That's the only way to get it moving out of your system.

i had very little gas and the drugstore was out of gas x strips so i bought little gas x pills, they worked fine for me. the one thing i wish id had after surgery through the first day was Lifesavers! i had the worst cottonmouth after surgery, all day! i couldnt get ice chips down fast enough in recovery, or drink enough propel at home. it took several hours for my mouth to start producing saliva. get yourself some lifesavers!!

Tomorrow is my surgery. Have to be at hospital at 5:30 am and will be staying over night. Having at Mc Meal Hospital. I am so nervous and scarred. But it is the best thing for me.

I had to do a double take on the name of your hospital, thought you were saying you had a "Mc Meal" before surgery tomorrow...as in McDonald's.....LOL!
