Is this kind of pain/pressure normal?

Thanks everyone for your advice. I thought the acid meds were like the pain meds and for an " as needed" basis. I'm going to fill my prescription now and if the pain doesn't go away, i'll call the surgeon on monday.

Thanks again! I really appreciate this.

The acid meds is exactly for what u are feeling they will take the acid and pressure away.

Did you have a hiatal hernia repair? I did and what you describe sounds like what I was feeling for about the first 10 days post. As suggested, call your Dr.

No, i haven't had a hernia or a repair.

No, no no... I thought and did the exact same thing! Your stomach needs the acid reducer for healing, as my surgeon told me -it's not just a comfort thing.

I'm glad i wasnt the only one! I took a prilosec around Noon and already i am starting to feel better. The pain is so much better. I still feel a little pain/pressure when i eat, but not to the point where i am crying out anymore and avoiding my fluids.

You guys ROCK
