Can I take gas x presurgery.. anyone?

It wont help. Gas x only works on gas in the GI tract. The "gas" pain that you get is from where they blow up your abdomen with air to see while doing the surgery. Only movement and time will get rid of that gas as it is in the abdominal cavity.

Thanks for the info about GasX-DOS 10/11/12- so much gas pain. I asked the discharge nurse if I should tale GasX and she said sure-strips or chewable, so I've been sucking on those horrid things (vanilla flavor-so chalky!) while sipping my shake and it doesnt seem to help. Walking and moving is the only way I can make the gas escape. So tired though. Hardly slept more than 3 hours at a time since Thurs. Lots of pain from hernia surgery at same time.

I am sorry you are in so much pain. Unfortunately the pain killers wont even work on the pain as it is caused by the gas floating around. That is one thing I am not really looking forward to. Although me being a Nursing student does help so I know what is happening and why things hurt so bad.I hope you feel better soon.
