Did anyone bring or take GasX thin strips to the hospital? Do they work? I hear about a lot of people taking that for Gas pains but I can't seem to find them anywhere. So far wherever I checked they only had the chewables or the gels. Does anyone know where someone can get these from? I am getting sleeved tomorrow and would like to have them on hand in case I need them. Thank you!

I took them to the hospital. I used one. Walking worked better than anything. Of course, I moved at the pace of snail, but each step was still better than the strips. I simply picked them up at like Target or CVS, maybe Walmart? Good luck with your surgery!

Thank you so much !!

They will only help once the gas is in your bowels. It will not help when the gas is in your body cavity. Walk, walk, walk, and the gas x could come in handy at some point.

My surgery is Wednesday and I found the Gas X strips at Walgreens.

Sorry for late reply, GAS X are a life saver..

I hope they worked for you

Funny, I really didn’t think they work but my surgeon’s office recommended getting them too so maybe I’ll try Amazon if I can’t find them nearby.

Ok so I keep hearing about the gas they put in your body to help with the surgery and that you need to start walking asap after surgery, to walk the floor at the hospital... And I just need to know.. does that mean I'm gonna be farting up and down the hallway??! [emoji54] lol I just need to know!

Boy am I gonna have a hard time with this!
I have an issue with passing gas around others. Even if they're in another room! It took me 4 yrs. to feel comfortable to do this around my husband! Those hallways better be empty or I'm saving it until I get home! Bahahaha
