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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
