Should he have? I have a slight burning pouch this evening. I started taking omeprazole yesterday so I hope that helps. Should he have started me on a PPI immediatly after surgery? How common is that"?

Not all surgeons do, and most peple that don't take them do just fine. Sometimes it depends on what the surgeon expects you to be eating (or not eating) during the first month or so post-op.

Ok, I was kind of concerned that I missed something. I guess I should call the surgeon tomorrow and see what he thinks of this burning pouch I seem to have. Thank you.

Ok good to know. I was starting to think everyone was put on one after surgery from all the stuff I have been hearing.

I am on a PPI, but I was on high doses of PPI prior to surgery.

My surgeon had me stop my PPI when I had my surgery. Have not needed it at all. I have had a weird feeling in my pouch but no actual heartburn. Hallelujah!

I also had some early labs done because I felt like crap. All my labs came back good including my cholesterol, but my thyroid is screwed up again. That is pretty normal for me, so I am just so excited that everything looks good! Yay RNY!

I wasn't started on one until after I was diagnosed with a stricture, now I take Protonix two time daily.
