I went back to work yesterday and seems like my stomach is more bubbly eating at work then it is at home. It's weird.. but I was wondering are we able to take tums after being sleeved? I'm so scared to take anything like that and I haven't had a call back from my Dr.'s office yet.

My surgeon told me it was fine. I called him the other day after I had really bad reflux after eating eggs. I was worried about it because of the calcium chews I am taking and the cacium in Tums. He said no problem and I ended up taking three tums with no issues. He also said Mylanta is good.

Have you tried GasX strips or chewables? (I should buy stock in the company!) Helps me when eating (sipping I should say, only on stage 2 liq. as of today) something that I feel adds more gas (broth gor some reason). Not looking forward to going back to work next Monday sounding like a percolator!

I haven't tried anything yet, I just want something chewable. I am on solids now and am 4 weeks out I think it is more stress of being back at work LoL. I have some tums just wasn't sure if they were ok. Thanks for the answers :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
