Stomach pain in the morning



Recommended Posts

Hiya,

I'm wondering if anybody else is experiencing what feels like a painful hunger pains late night early mourning? I don't think it's hunger I don't want any food persay. I'm 11 day post-op. I think it's stomach acid that's bothering me. I started to take the prescribe med in the evening to help. It did alil. But, it keeps me waking up around 6am and won't stop Untill I put something in me. Then it settle down. If anyone else deals with this what yall do? I don't go for my first appt fill up Untill this thrusday 3/3.

It's acid. What's your antacid med and dose? You may need to take more for awhile or switch to a different one. I was on 40mg omeprazole daily for two months. But even at that dose it would sometimes flair up. Rolaids or Maalox were a quick fix when it did. After 2-3 months I no longer needed any PPIs. Now, when I occasionally get gastritis or a bit of acid I take an H2 blocker like famotidine or ranitidine or even just a couple Rolaids. They are faster acting than the PPIs and I only have to take them for a day or two.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
