cutieKel Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I want to start preparing so I went to two drug stores looking for gas x strips and all they had was the chewables. Where do you find them? I did the same and fianlly asked someone when I was being banded. The answer was WalMart and sure enough I went there when I got home and found them there. Now I have both and ended up liking the chewable better. The strips just didn't disolve quick enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housecatgirl Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Thanks!!! I went to Wal-mart and sure enough they were there.=) I have been told on another Board that the strips don't work as good but isn't it the same active ingredient?

chrissysdolphin Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I'm new to this and I'm getting my surgery on the 31st with Dr. Ortiz. Can someone tell me what the Gas X Strips are for They didn't mentioned that to me. when they give you surgery they blow up your stomach with air for the surgery soyou have a lot of gas and the strips are easier for some people than the tablets. Different people have different stories with the gas. you can find the stripws at wal-mart or walgreens if you have them where you are at they are klindof hard to find. good luck C.
