How soon after surgery did you start Prilosec



Recommended Posts

My surgeon called in a script of Prilosec for after surgery. For those that were prescribed this, how soon did you begin taking after surgery? Thanks!

Haven't taken Prilosec for many years (OTC), due to side effects.

Took Prevacid (Lansoprazole) for years until surgery. Since discharge I've taken Pantoloc (Pantoprazole) and am prescribed this for 6 months, likely then going back to Prevacid if I need it.

I've never taken any of these meds before. I'll google the side effects so I know what to look out for. Thanks.

Today is my first full day home and I took my Prilosec first this this morning.

I remember that they gave it to me first thing in the morning via my IV when I was in the hospital.

I just filled my Vitamins and meds for after surgery. Whoa! I will be taking something every two hours the entire time I'm awake!

Hi. I'm slowly on the mend. Today is a little better than yesterday, and yesterday was a little better than the day before-- which was awful. I don't have nausea, but I have definitely get that contraction feeling when a liquid hits my stomach too quickly. I also feel foggy and sore where the stitches are located. I'm sipping 3 ounces of liquid at a time. So basically I'm in the sip, walk, nap and repeat routine.

How about you?

I'm jealous of where you are at. I'm five days from surgery and time is dragging.
I hope tomorrow is better and each day there after. Keep us posted!

I was able to swallow the pill. So far I haven't had any problems taking meds. Which is a good thing considering the amount of pills the surgeon prescribed:

4 Aleeve: 2 in the morning/2 in.the evening

Prilosec: 1 in the morming

4 anti-spasm meds a day as needed, but to be taken 20 minutes before a meal.

Not to mention the ocycodone, stool softener, and my Zoloft

A couple days after surgery. I swallowed the pill (with as little Water as I could manage). I had prescription meds I couldn't go a day without, so I had to learn swallowing pills immediately after waking up from surgery

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
