Is It Bad That I'm Not Taking My Prilosec?

[CHELL 41]

I really haven't felt I've needed it even though my doc said to take it daily. I haven't had any acid, heartburn or reflux issues. Surprisingly my stomach has been kind to me. This may change however once I'm off liquids.< /p>

For me, I had to go on it after I switched to regular food. No big deal. My doctor said that the sleeve to does not fix reflux.

In my program the require it for 3 months, my understanding is that the acid can inhibit healing of the staple line. I still take it at 8.5 months out because I get a "gnawing" feeling if I don't - I mistook this as hunger for a week before I realized it showed up when I quit my PPI. My Dr has refilled for me.

I understand that "gnawing" feeling! When I don't take mine first thing in the morning, I sure feel it later in the day! Right now, I just buy Omeprazole from Costco.....much cheaper for me that way. If it stops working, I will talk to my dr about a prescription.

I take my omprezale daily because if I don't, I start feeling hungry! So it's no big deal to take my PPI. It's more of a safety precaution. It's really no big deal to add it to my supplements.
