When I spoke to my surgeon as well as my primary doctor, Gas-X seems to be the one of choice. This is OTC, and it's safe to use on a daily basis if needed.

CVS, Wahlgreens carry OTC Omeprazole, pepsin etc. This will help drastically. :P

Target also carries it OTC. Cost is not that bad for a 3 month supply. I find I still need to take 1 20 mg dose daily, even at almost 2 years out. I will be reminded by sleeve if I forget.

Just a question to those taking the acid reducers, are you having reflux or taking it to keep your hunger level down?

I get reflux at night and take a Nexium at bedtime. However, I had reflux before VSG too. I have also found a Tbsp on organic apple cider vinegar in my first glass of Water in the morning helps a lot with reflux. Takes a bit of getting used to but it adds to your gut's population of good bacteria apparently. Seems counterintuitive but it has helped me.

FYI Gas x does nothing for acid. Helps with gas pains and gas on the bottom side. But you need a PPI for acid. I hear Prevacid is a good OTC one. But I just called my PCP and got a 3 month supply of Nexium. That's the best. If you know anybody in Mexico they can send you some pantozol you don't need a script there it's the same as Nexium. Works good. Also get the B Vitamin injections if you can. They are cheap and you give yourself an injection once a month. If your close to the border it's worth it. Or if you're on your way there for surgery pick that stuff up before heading home. Your Dr. Will help you.

There are a lot of OTC acid reducers you just have to find what works for you personally. I started with Prilosec and it didn't seem to help. I was still getting hunger and pains. I switched to Pepcid AC and its worked great for me. I take 20 mg twice a day and don't get those horrible hunger pains or the stabbing pains I was getting before. Just try different ones and you will find one that works for you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
