Is it normal to have that hunger burning sensation in ur stomach when u swallow something? I'm hoping it's just part of the healing process any advise? Thanks

Sorry, I'm 2 days post op.

Are you taking a PPI?

Is it painful? I never had this, but I have read it before.

What is PPI? And not so much painful, as it reminds me of pre- op whn u would wait too long to eat and u would get that burning hunger feeling in the pit if ur stomach.

Surgeon just came in, I asked him and he says it normal for some ppl. Yay, I get to go home today..

Great,

PPI is proton pump inhibitor. Like Prilosec or Prevacid. They slow the production of stomach acid.

Try some tums gas strips, or take a sugar free TUMS and let it dissolve or chew really well - you can even break it up in a pestle first...

Good chance you have acid, and it feels like hunger - I think alot of our head hunger can be countered wit an antacid...the head part triggers a physical release of stomach acid - and it has gerlin like reactions...

I am taking prevaside. I will get some sf runs today to try. Thank u all.
