Generalized Abdominal Pain after VSG

[samjams 0]

Hi. I had a vsg on Feb 28th of this year. I was on pantoprazole for a required 3 months. I then stopped as I generally do not want to be on a ppi and I don't have gerd. My surgeon was OK with this. It's been almost 3 weeks now and I have generalized stomach pain. I cant always discern if I have pain when I eat or after. I just know my stomach is upset and it doesn't feel right. I don't kow if this is because I stopped the ppi or if it's just that I'm still adjusting to my new stomach. Has anyone else dealt with this and how did you get through it? Thanks.

I use Pepsid complete. It's an H2 blocker instead of ppi. Maybe try something like that for a bit and see if you notice a difference. Sometimes we need acid control for 6 months or longer.

its only been a month for me, but sometimes my stomach feels like its turning cartwheels with flashes of hunger and then crampiness. I hope it stops soon.
