I'm 12 days post op and I started on 20mg omeprozole and was bumped to 40 after the first few days of bad heartburn. I take one pill first thing in the morning and the 2nd mid-afternoon and that has really worked for me. Hope your doc can help you out, I had it bad those first few post-op days and it was no fun so I sympathize.

I've been on protonix 40mg twice a day since I was sleeved and I also have a couple tums before bed just to keep the reflux from happening at night. I'm now 2.5 months out

I took 40mg/ day for 2 months then down to 20mg for a month then stopped. In the beginning, Even with the 40mg, I took Maaloxx occasionally when I had a sour stomach (at the recommendation of OCC's followup doctor).

A friend of mine takes protonix because omeprazole does nothing for her.

I just went for my 2-month follow-up and they have taken me off Omeprazole as I do not need it anymore.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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