Yep! I have it daily so I take Zantac daily. Best thing ever! Controls all the acid reflux pain!

Have you talked to your doctor? I was on IV Pepcid in the hospital and I was also having acid issues when I got home. I went to the drug store and bought the chewable Pepcid complete. When I went back to the doctor I was telling him about it and he realized he forgot to prescribe an antacid for me. It's 4x as strong as the one I bought in the store and I feel much better. Good luck to you!

I'm also in that club. Take chapstick, a pillow, & cell phone charger. The hospital will provide the rest. If you can, fill your post-op prescriptions before surgery. Find out what your surgeon wants you to have post-op, and pick up some of that as well, but not a lot. You won't be on that diet long. I purchased regular Vitamins that met my NUT's specs, but had to order soft-chews on Amazon because pills didn't work for me, even with a pill crusher.
Get your home ready for post-op. When they release you, you'll just want to go home and rest, not run errands or do housework.

@betterliving- as for what to take to the hospital. Maybe your cell phone and charger, some take chapstick ( I did but never used it) I wore home what I wore there. Take a pillow for putting between you and the seatbelt for the ride home. Other than that I didn't need anything, I was done as an outpatient so I had no time for anything else.
@sleeve- you have already done the hardest part in my opinion. Don't back out now. You will do amazing, just get to the other side!
@Cognorati001- the headaches will get better, you are detoxing in way. Hang in there and make sure you are drinking plenty as it helps a lot!!
I am absolutely a member of the "I wish I had done it sooner club" Good luck ladies!!
