Tummy Problems

HI, All-Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with heartburn, indigestion. I took Prilosec every day for months. I asked my doctor if I should continue with it, and he said do what I thought best. I tried doing without it, and was fine, but now I am starting to have regular burning in my stomach. Sometimes, I can't tell if I am hunrgry or have indigestion! am going back on the Prilosec to see if it helps. If not, I guess I will be going to the doctor.

Have you noticed if certain foods bring on the problem or if it's just a generalized issue? Was it your WLS surgeon who advised you to "do what you thought best" or was it your primary care doctor? I think I would give the surgeon a call and discuss the issue. I'm not trying to add stress or worry you but if you are in pain with heartburn, I would think there was a problem. Take care. Toni

I agree with Toni, you need to speak to your sugeon. I don't think it's normal to have that much discomfort. I hope you find the trouble and feel better soon! Jean

Hi Vicki I too have the problem where my tummy burns {doesnt hurt mind you} but is irritating indeed. My surgen had me do another barium swallow where there was nothing found. I am sitll having that problem off and on but not as bad a s before. he claims that it is my diet but I dont see how. I have a follow up in a couple of weeks with him Good Luck! Becky
