Gas-X, Should I Be Taking This 2 Days Out?



Recommended Posts

My doc said no to any gas meds, he wanted me to pass it naturally. Every time I felt a tightness in my chest, I walked. Within the first week, all has discomfort was gone.

I took it starting Day One. They gave it to me in the hospital; it was the meltable strips, though.

I was given gas strips in the hospital the day after surgery. Im assuming it helped because I had no problems with gas while taking them.

Walking is working best for me, as well as a heating pad. Let me know how you feel today!

Still lots of gas for me, the strips just arent cutting it. I just keep walking. I have the acid reducer too, but not sure if it makes a difference or not lol. I just want to melt some of this fat off! I lost like 30 lbs pre surgery, I havent weighed myself yet since Ive been home...

Anyone tried gas-x shortly post op?

I am12 days out and nothing helped with the gas except pulling my knees up to my chest. I read somewhere to drink peppermint tea. I am feeling muchhhh better...so hang in there.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
