I can take about 4 small bites of something and have to quit eating cause I get heartburn so bad. Does this happen to anyone else? My husband had this same surgery but this never happened to him. I am taking 150mg of zantac twice a day and it helps some but not enough.

Try something else. I had to switch from prilosec to Nexium then I got relief. But for me I was waking up in the middle of the night choking, feel like I couldnt lie down flat, felt sick to my stomach all afternoon. Good luck to you.

Thanks I'll try something different.

Hey Christy,

I was having a problem with that too. The Prilosec really helped with that and any sour stomach that I have. I take it once a day. I'm still not back at work because I just don't have the energy. I plan to go back tomorrow though...dreading it....I'll let you know how it goies. I'm down about 20lbs in the two weeks since surgery. How about you?

I'll have to get that and try it. I hope it works for me. I still get tired after being up about 5 or 6 hours. I have started taking a one a day vitamin and b12. So I hope that's helps. I am down 21 pounds in 2 weeks.

Good luck with going back to work.

You can get OTC Omeprazole... it worked for me for the first 6 months, then I quit because I was worrying about calcium absorption. I have not had any acid except about three days of mild heartburn in the last 5 months. I think if you get on the right PPI you will feel much better.

Feedyoureye please tell me what PPI is. I see it mentioned on the board often.
