I see a lot of people say to take gas x to the hospital with me. I see there are gas x strips, chewables and pills....which ones did you use. Are the pills easy to swallow after the surgery?

I took the strips, you won't want to be swallowing anything you don't absolutely have to.. Good luck!

I had the strips, but my doc told me they don't work as well. He said that the best gas relief would be the liquids/drops - even the ones for children can just up the dosage (he even mentioned Mylicon).

He also told me that any pills smaller than my pinky fingernail are fine to take with a sip of Water, but I waited a few days to try since I wasn't sure they still wouldn't get stuck.

@ I have the strips. But you'll need to take 2-3 at a time for effectiveness.

Strips! Strips!

Have you talked to your doctor? I didn't have to bring anything because they started me on omeprazole in the hospital and discharged me with a 90 day prescription.

LOVE my strips, they have saved me on more than one occasion from the gas bear.
