Can I take tums post op?

Im 3 weeks.

Im having major heartburn.

I was allowed to, but you need to ask your surgeon.

I took one tums. I while I was waiting for their office to open.

I'm allowed to have tums occasionally, but if I'm finding I need them more than once a day I have to call their office on Tuesday to go on protonix as well.

Im a revision from a band, so protonix and I ho back 7 years, as do my surgeon and I.

I've already had 3 hospital stays dince the bypass. So they do keep on top of things.

Will be checking with Dr about this when I see him in a couple of weeks. Seem to be experiencing more heartburn than I have had in months.
