Hello everyone. Any experts out there? I had a question about omeprazole. Is it safe to take it daily passed the 2 weeks? I am almost 4 months post-op and I still find that my throat feels like I have lava stuck in my throat and I'm assuming that is a GERD symptom. I've never had any kind of reflux before, even when I was banded, until I did revision to sleeve. The generic omeprazole has helped me keep that at bay. I did call my surgeon and he told me to do go another 2 weeks then to give him a call. I don't have medical insurance and can't really afford one. So considering my circumstance, is it safe to take generic omeprazole? I don't get any side effects of any kind and it really helps keep that lava in the throat away. Thanks in advance! Looking forward to your reply(s).

Thanks for the replies. I feel more at ease now. THANK YOU!!!

Do you take it daily, Rebecca?

Hello all, Just what the topic title says; is it okay to take Calcium softgels? I'm not really fond of calcium chews. And from some of the info I read here, looks like some folks take pills, so I take it softgels would be okay as well? Thanks in advance, your input is much appreciated! carma2013
