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.

      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.
