I am not quite 2 wks post LAP RNY and although I took Prevacid prior to surgery

I am not quite 2 wks post LAP RNY and although I took Prevacid prior to surgery with no problems, I continue to take it after surgery and it doesn't seem to be working! I was up most of the night last night suffering from this burning, acidic feeling just like I used to before taking this medication. Does anyone know if maybe it's not working because it's in the capsule and the capsule is not disolving?? The first week out of surgery I was having trouble getting all my meds in (i was on about 8 different ones prior to surgery) and my PCP suggested I mix up the prevacid in some applesauce so it was 2 less pills to take...i kept gagging on the little things in the capsule so i finally just took it as a pill...Really would appreciate any/all suggestions on this...by the way.. the PUREED diet is TERRIBLE..lol but i'm still glad to be a "loser" Christal Alley
