Question:
Is it ok to take gasX?

I am 4 days post-op and I feel like a Macy's Parade balloon. I dissolved two gasx in tee. Is that ok?    — beccay10 (posted on February 7, 2010)

My nurse said it was fine. As a matter of fact she said you may need it after the surgery.

I was told it would not help because it is gas in the cavity of your body not in the digestive tract, but hey if it works then great!

My surgeon recommended it and it helped me a great deal. The gasX with walking combined did the trick most of the time.

so is this a continuing problem for most folks? I had a gastric sleeve 6 weeks ago and I am constantly blown up. I seem to need gasx two or three times a day. Will this continue, and is it safe to take so much gasx for a long period?

My doc recommends that brand - in the strip form. Don't have to dissolve them anywhere but your tongue. They help some. More with the empty belly sensation in my opinion. Mostly it's the walking that will help with the surgical gas used to inflate your belly cavity. It has to be absorbed thru the circulatory system but moving around helps to displace any pockets (upper shoulder area is most common). Hang in there, this is the worst of it. It gets better & easier with each passing week.
