Cool-mo-z 1 Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) I too have stomach pain but it comes in waves, like incredible hunger pains. I am only 4 days postop. My incisions are fine. I jist don'tunderstand what pain I'm feeling and nervous to take anything. I'm also worried I drank too large of portions yesterday. Ugh!

Berry78 4,261 Posted September 10, 2017 You guys should already be on acid reducers (usually PPI's or H2 blockers). If you're not on acid reducers, talk to your docs. Cool.. those sensations you are having are likely "spasms". Umm.. I didn't have them, so not sure what other people do for them. I want to say the doc can prescribe some medicine for it. Again.. talk to your doc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MandyWarhaul 0 Posted September 10, 2017 My doctor said since I get reflux rarely and I have a terrible time taking the pill prescribed I no longer have to take the acid reducers. This was discussed a few weeks ago. I had a mild bout of acid reflux last night when trying to go to bed which is why I posted this question. Just want to know if Tums are safe to take every once in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
