How many week post op can u or did you start taking Prilosec an birth control?

Day 2 for Prilosec.

I got a script filled for Prilosec before I left the hospital with instructions to take when I got home. Birth control I started 2 1/2 months out but that's not because I couldn't it was because I never took it before and needed a script.

That's crazy, see my dr said I can't take anything liquid, but I c lots of people taking it so I'm gonna get a prescription too! And I started birth control with out asking, I'm only 4 weeks post op!

I ment anything solid, only liquid!

I did have to open the capsule and swallow the little tiny pills inside. I wasn't allowed to swallow the whole capsule. Is the reflux bad?? It was for me the first month. I ran out of my Prilosec a month out and never refilled it. I was able to control it as long as I ate regularly but it's been coming back and I now hafta get a script again. Sigh

Prilosec since day two. Birth control after 4 weeks.

I heard the heartburn is really bad. I have to take my omprazole daily if not I am dying! I am still pre op. No date yet

Reflux can get bad in some. I took my Prilosec the first month, then thought I was ok. I didn't take it for 2 months because I could control it food. I'm back on it now needless to say I need it lol

I was instructed to stop taking my bcp a month before surgery, but to resume them immediately. I CONTINUED (I had severe reflux from a slipped band) my Prilosec the day after getting home from the hospital (in capsule form).

Never had a problem with pills. The only thing I took in liquid was my post op liquid Vicodin. It's good stuff. Much better than the pill form!

Due to new stomach size, bc pills do not work the same as the body cannot absorb it as before, so you can get pregnant... I changed to the patch instead of the shots, bc weight gain is higher with the shots!... Talk to your Docs and/or GYN!

11 months out, total weight loss of 100lbs!... Best decision ever!... Trying for a baby!
