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.

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...

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
