I'm 12 days post op and I started on 20mg omeprozole and was bumped to 40 after the first few days of bad heartburn. I take one pill first thing in the morning and the 2nd mid-afternoon and that has really worked for me. Hope your doc can help you out, I had it bad those first few post-op days and it was no fun so I sympathize.

I've been on protonix 40mg twice a day since I was sleeved and I also have a couple tums before bed just to keep the reflux from happening at night. I'm now 2.5 months out

I took 40mg/ day for 2 months then down to 20mg for a month then stopped. In the beginning, Even with the 40mg, I took Maaloxx occasionally when I had a sour stomach (at the recommendation of OCC's followup doctor).

A friend of mine takes protonix because omeprazole does nothing for her.

I just went for my 2-month follow-up and they have taken me off Omeprazole as I do not need it anymore.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
