your stomach is going to be doing a lot of gurgeling and producing a lot of gas at first. lots of burping... this helpsin the first few weeks. surgical gas from the OR is totally different

The Gas-x strips might give you a little relief, but the best thing for surgical gas is to get up and walk as much as you can. I had about two bouts with surgical gas on surgery day, and the pain went away almost immediately each time. Can't recall any problems with gas after that.

I think sometimes people don't understand the difference between surgical gas and intestinal/stomach gas. I know for a while I didn't understand that it would be surgical gas inside my system.

I've had experience with the surgical gas before with 2 previous procedures....walking is really the only way to get rid of surgical gas....I'm assuming the Gas-x is for an upset stomach maybe...I plan to buy some to have at home just incase....

I didn't have any gas pains, so didn't need them. But my Dr said it can help with gas pains after surgery.

Walking is the only thing that helps(was so frustrating after surgery). Not trying to be mean but I just keep seeing people suggest it for surgical gas pain and im thinking is there something I missed?

I take them after each meal and after I swallow any pills. Also, they make my breath smell deeee-lightful.

I use the gas x strips daily cinnamon and they worked from the very first day of surgery. I find that the strips work immediately. Hope this helps!!
