Hi. I had a vsg on Feb 28th of this year. I was on pantoprazole for a required 3 months. I then stopped as I generally do not want to be on a ppi and I don't have gerd. My surgeon was OK with this. It's been almost 3 weeks now and I have generalized stomach pain. I cant always discern if I have pain when I eat or after. I just know my stomach is upset and it doesn't feel right. I don't kow if this is because I stopped the ppi or if it's just that I'm still adjusting to my new stomach. Has anyone else dealt with this and how did you get through it? Thanks.

I try and eat fruit daily. I usually pair it woth some light cheese or peanut butter. In general I strive to eat real food including fruits and veggies.

I decided to have the sleeve because I didn't like the idea of re-routing my stomach. I wanted to maintain my regular digestive tract. I didn't want to worry about a lifetime of vitamins and nutrient deficiency. I've kown people with the sleeve and with gb who have gained weight, so I just went with what was comfortable to me. Good luck.
