I am reading conflicting info. Will GasX strips actually help relieve the gas pain in your chest and back that was pumped in during surgery?

They didn't help me, but many others have said they helped them.

It helped me a little bit. I'm 9 days post op and I've only used 1.. Walking helped me the most

I tried them but I don't think they helped. Most of the pain was in my left shoulder just for the one day and the next day it was fine.

They help with gas inside the stomach. They don't help with gas inside the body cavity. I took them for the first couple of weeks. They would probably be more helpful now, some foods really get my stomach rumbling.

Didn't help me much...

This makes sense.

Gas-X might help with intestinal gas, but it won't help with the gas (carbon dioxide) they use to inflate the abdomen during surgery. Because that gas doesn't get into the stomach or the intestines, Gax-X won't do anything to relieve the shoulder, neck, and back pains

No they don't help. The gas is outside your GI tract, you they use it to raise your organs. GasX is useless.

All I can say is It Didn't Help Me.. That gas aint no joke!

I used Gas-X with minimal affect. May have been more psychological than anything. Walking is what helped me most. They pump the gas to swell up your body cavity so they can access the area they are working. This has nothing to do with where Gas-X targets. It eventually gets absorbed into the digestive system where you get amazing relief in the for of flatulence:-). Gas-X may help a bit but really walking is the key.

I had Gas-X because I read it was a necessity. They were but not for the purpose described here.

They gave me drops for gas at the hospital and they helped immediately
