Goodgonebad 38 Posted November 6, 2012 I have been on Nexium since I've been in the hospital and was instructed to take them everyday for 3 months. I thought everyone had to take them... Some form of anti-acid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bee0927 12 Posted November 6, 2012 They only had me taking an anti acid for 6 weeks.. However not it has gotten really bad where my whole stomach hurts.. I have had it before and it was no big deal. I pop a Pepcid and within 5 mins I am fine.. However since the sleeve.. I worry, how is this affecting me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amykins 202 Posted November 6, 2012 I have been taking a PPI (antacid) since surgery. I'm miserable without it. Most people post-surgery need some type of PPI. My stomach feels like it's boiling sometimes even with the PPI so I have to take tums or maalox too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted November 6, 2012 I am wondering if 2 PPI is better than 1 to help with hunger. I get somewhat hungry after 2.5 hours from last eating and would like to eliminate that. I eat every 3 hours a small amount of Protein (3-4 oz). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCCross 31 Posted November 6, 2012 I take two Prilosec in am and one Zantac in pm. Helps a lot. I was wondering if I could take more than 1 type of acid medicine. I tried protonix and while it worked great for acid, the side effects were awful. I'm guessing you take just the regular zantac? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twoolley 141 Posted November 6, 2012 I was on pepcid and it did nothing. I just switched to Omeprozole and it's awesome. I used it before the surgery every day for acid reflux. I am hoping my acid reflux problems go away after surgery but so far no luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
