I too have been STARVING since having my sleeve. I prayed and prayed that this would be resolved after my surgery, but hasn't!!
I have been taking Nexium for about 8 years and asked my surgeon to switch me to something else. He said Nexium was the best out there. Well, I took it upon myself to go and get some Prilosec OTC and have been taking it for 18 days now. I can honestly say that my hunger HAS calmed down!! I am so happy about it. I do still get hungry, but my stomach is NOT constantly growling like it was before. I think that Prilosec is MUCH better than Nexium and I am so happy that I started taking it.
I emailed my PCP and asked him for a prescription because it is cheaper than buying it over the counter and he gave it to me!! LOL
I hope that the longer I take it, the better my hunger will be!!
