Anyone have extra Gas X strips they want to sell? Everyone seems to be out of stock



Recommended Posts

Sorry but all of mine are gone. In fact I was looking for some the other day and couldn't find any either. Now I know why.

Walking is the only thing that works. The worst part of my recovery was when that gas hit my shoulder and stayed there for 2 days...

I couldn't walk so I did use the gas-X strips for awhile. In my case I feel they helped cut the pain some what at first, but not enough. When that gas hit my right back shoulder I was in so much pain the Dr thought maybe my ribs were bruised from when they transferred me from the bathroom to my chair. That 2 weeks was more painful than the 3 surgeries I had. I cried out in pain every time I had to move from the recliner or the bed to my wheelchair. Finally about 2 weeks later the pain stopped. At about the three week mark I had enough strength to be able to use the rollator and walk for less than 5 minutes and use my tricycle.

After 3 days of searching the internet, I ordered from Walmart...and they sent me GELS not strips! In my worried rage I was determined to drive to every Walgreens in Miami....(they were out of stock on their website)... the first stop I made....last two boxes in south Florida apparently

It's officially an urban legend. They don't help. Get off your Ass and walk, walk, walk.

Gas X strips don't help that kind of Gas. The gas is C02 from surgery. You need muscle to burn that off, walking , toe push ups (against the wall) Walk backwards. Etc etc.

I have used them for debilitating stomach pain. It comes on almost instantly and the strips are the only thing I have found that helps me. I've been searching everywhere, if anyone has any they won't be using I am really looking hard. Some people on eBay are charging $20 a box and up.

I've tried the soft gels and they don't help at all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you kindly.

If you do find them, stock up. They're no longer being produced by the manufacturer.

      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!
