Also, eating yogurt is a good way to replenish the "good bacteria" if u have to be on acid reducers for any length of time...

I don't think these prescription antacids "heal" the sleeve. What I think they do is basically make life more tolerable if you have any acid reflux. I have never had acid reflux BEFORE surgery, but I certainly have felt it post-surgery. Based on the numerous threads I have read, it would seem that acid-issues are a common problem for sleevers.

Thanks for the imput so helpful, I was sleeved on Dec 13th. I live in Austin had my surgery in Houston so I think this will really be my support group.

Happy Ney Year!

PPI's are prescribed twice a day for at least 3 months to heal stomach ulcers. Healing needs reduced stomach acid to heal. Since we basically have a long incision (raw spot) in the stomach, take your doctor ordered meds. The other medications are great for "normal" reflux or after fully healed. I've done done GI (stomach and colon) nursing for 12 years.

My doctor did not order any acid reducers which do you think is the best of the ones in the posts on the subject?

Check with your doctor but it seems most of us are on over the counter Prilosec for 3 months. Good luck on your recovery!
