Pre surgery I took 20 mg of Omeprazole a day, every so often I'd forget and was usually OK, sometimes had issues on the day I forgot.
Post surgery I was still taking is every day. My doctor suggested trying to ween myself off it to see what happened. I started taking every other day for about a week and all was good. Tried to take it every three days but first time I tried had a lot of discomfort so I went back to every day. I'll wait a little bit and try again, but even with all the healthy eating it looks like it's here to stay.

My surgeon did a Hiatal Hernia repair along with my sleeve. All his patients get that if needed
