I had a hernia repair at the same time as surgery. I was given omeprazole and only took it once z day. I have not had any heartburn at all. I’m also curious if this is something I need to continue taking. I thought long term it could cause issues. I’m interested in what answers you get.

I haven't had any issues with heart burn, that's my reason for not taking it. I'll continue reading from others reply. Thanks for your reply. [emoji5]

If you don't need it, don't take it. That's great! I'm three years post op & I still take it daily. Each of us is a little different. Good luck to you!

We're put on it routinely for three months to help healing. After that, any continued antacid meds are individual or nonexistent.

Not being funny, but do you think I'm not healing well? It's just so much pills to take a day. I even forget or lazy to drink my 4 Vitamins. I'm 2 month post op so I've been doing well, so far. (knock on wood)

Hi Creek Imp et all. Its me,Princess of the PreSurg, omeprazole does nothing for me me so I'm on Dexilant. Really think you should take the tummy medicine, sure maybe you don't think you'll have acid issues but are you all back to full foods? It could still rear its ugly head before the 3 months are up.

I'm back to solids. So far everything is ok besides anything heavy like chicken or meat it sorta feels like it scratches my throat. Hopefully that is over quick. Feel like I can't enjoy it much. I think I'm fine but I wanted to hear everyone else's experience.

My doctor has me continuing to take it for 2 months after surgery (1/9) just while I’m still healing. He did take me off my blood pressure medicine immediately so I don’t mind still taking one little pill for another 2 months.

I took it for three months but then weaned myself off of it once I felt like I no longer needed it. I told my bariatric team that I did and they weren't really in favor of my decision. I'm still off the medication because I still feel like I don't need it.

I've been off it since September and feel fine. I was on it from June-ish til then. Been off ever since.

A couple times I have been a little nauseated in the early morning, taken Omeprazole, which I take daily, had a little yogurt, and been fine, FWTW.

Hello all. I was wondering if there were individuals that haven't taken the omeprazole? I haven't even taken not one after surgery. Will that do anything later on to me?

It may depend on what type of surgery you had. My surgeon says I have to take it for life to protect against ulcers. I had a mini gastric bypass.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
