    I'm glad you've remained optimistic. By the eat, the gas-x was a life
    Saver!!!!! I'm on day 7 post op. Apparently I've been
    Exercising too much. Oddly has seemed to delay healing.

    After normal exercise the past couple days, I'm finally
    Feeling less pain. But the liquid hydrocodone and
    Compound pharmacy adult strength liquid sugar-free Tylenol
    Are beginning to smell terrible in my nose: to the
    Point where I feel like emesis...

    They take the edge off the pain but Yuk!!!
    I hate the taste of meds!

    Wish me lunch tomorrow. Dental work wrapping up.
    More pain :-(


    Pray for my non-eventful dentist appointment.
    All of your support has proven invaluable to me
    This far. Along my journey. This major lifestyle
    Alteration is already changing my life toward the positive.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    To be honest they're not really necessary. I had my surgery in Mexico and met an american who gave me one straight after surgery and it only provided temporary relief from the weird trapped gas I had. She gave me a spare one but I ended up saving it and not using it! I just googled Wind-eze and they actually do Chewable tablets you can buy over the counter from Boots. I guess it can't hurt buying a box but you could get by without them, a good liquid antacid would probably be more worth while having! You can walk off the gas usually but the heart burn is pretty annoying!

    Hello Again:

    Yes I love to write LOL, but here's a video.


    I see you mentioned wanting to know about what things to take to hospital...
    You may choose to add or take away as needed LOL.

    BEFORE SURGERY - THINGS TO TAKE TO HOSPITAL

    - Anti-Petrolatum Lip Balm

    - No Nail Polish - Or At Least Make it Clear. Surgeon may need to check your circulation visually and polish will cover nail-bed.

    - Dry Mouth Aide - Oasis OTC, Biotene (Only spray or drops)

    - Sugar-Free Tylenol Liquid - Please Get 'Adult Strength'

    - Hair Loss Aide - Natol Fast Dissolve or other (foam if available)

    - Protein - At Least 20g Serving (At Least 40g needed a day)
    Choose low-carb low sugar low calorie. 100% Whey is always best.

    - Liquid Vitamins post-surg. Later on (according to Ur Doc), you may eat chewable vitamins

    - Take Own Pillow with Dark Coloured Case so it will stand out.

    Use it to sleep comfortably (only on back apparently), and to protec your stomach for the turns and bumps on the ride home from hospital

    - Avoid any NSAIDS and Steroids unless Doc says otherwise. Ultran & Tylenol are okay.

    - Lortab can be used as pain killer if prescribed ( it is a narcotic by the way)

    - I like the idea of a nice calm book on cd or digital music player (in cd player or ipod, something you must remember to bring back home and not leave in hospital).

    Hope this helps :

    Hello Gorgeous!

    No problem with finding that info for ya Luv, so here it is!
    Hope it helps but didn't see any strips however, there are other clear alternatives and
    MOM or Milk of Magnesia. As with anything, please make sure whatever you choose is
    okay with your doc.

    I miss being home. Thinking of bringing my fiance home to Exeter (South Devon) to meet family soon.

    Good Luck with everything! By the way... Should you require my sending some, I'd be more than willing to do that with no extra charge. Do you have Paypal or something similar? Let me know if all else fails. When is your surgery? I'm used to sending mail and packages to UK.

    I use global priority mail flat rate. Would you like me to price this task out for you?
    Again, no charge to you except shipping and regular price of Gas-X. That should resolve it.

    Let me know Luv.

    Liv


    Cheers!

    Hey, just to let you know there isn't any UK equivalent for the GasX strips. The closest thing I could find in the UK was Windeze but they come in tablet/capsule form which are a bit difficult to swallow straight after surgery. The only way to get the strips is to order online from the US. Hope that helps!
