Great question. I have heard yes and no. Some one else told me to get Smooth Move tea as well.

The hospital gave me Senokot and Colace when I was discharged. Smooth move tea is senna... and would have been a duplicate.

Be careful about natural remedies; know what's in them before you start taking them. :)

Also, that's for bowels... GasX is for the gas they pump your body with to inflate you during surgery (like a balloon so they can work). It will come out naturally, as you walk and toot.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Choose happy.

Walking and a heating pad... oh and tootin' up a storm!

Smooth move tea will move the bowels along and help clear them out.

Even right after surgery when they pump you full of CO2
