Well tomorrow will be my week post op I am having problems with lost of acid indigestion and gas pains. It has been so bad that its keeping me up at night and in pain during the day. I have taken tums, rolaids and now am onto pepto bismal (yuck). Im still not getting any better.

Does anyone have any sugestions?

Call your MD in the AM. You need a Rx for an acid blocker such as Pepcid, Prevecid, Nexium, etc. You can go to the drug store and get Pepcid over the counter. The Rx dose is 20 mg twice a day. I hope you feel better.

I didn't have much gas pain in my tummy, but my left shoulder ached all the time. Now almost two years later, that's where I get the majority of my gas.

I keep Tums, fast dissolving in my bedside table. Take two every nite, also helping the Calcium intake, LOL.

Thank you for the info. I had to call the dr, now feeling much better, he put me back on clears.

Pepcid didn't help my pain, so my advise is to try either Nexium or Protonix. Nexium is keeping my esophogus comfortable.

Obviously if Pepcid works for you, use that - it'll be a lot cheaper! But don't wait too long, if it's not helping within 5 - 7 days, go for the RX.
