jentrn 6 Posted February 7, 2018 I have read through other posts regarding gerd and using TUMS for it. I had a severe case of gastritis prior to surgery and was on nexium short term and then told to use it as needed. It didnt come back until after hernia repair with sleeve. I have only had it 3 times now. My surgeon ordered prilosec now and I didnt start taking it until tonight. In the meantime while I sit awake, can I still use some tums? Thanks for any advice.Sent from my SM-T350 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
