I'm almost a week out and I get these cramping waves of burning pain when I haven't put anything in the sleeve for an hour or two. Should I be continuously sipping water or something all the time? Anybody else get these? Will it go away? Help

Are you taking an antacid?

No...he hasn't prescribed one. Should I be taking over the counter ones?

Yes! I take 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. But you should check with your doctor. It makes a world of difference!

I will be a week post-op tomorrow. I am on Nexium and have been for years. I have had the "acid hunger pains" since the second day. I try to sip something almost continuously and I have never had a full feeling yet. Today is the first day of full liquids. I know it is just my head talking, but I feel like I will never feel full again. It is frustrating, but it should only be temporary.

I take prescription Prevacid. It is a great aide!
