Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 I was told by my surgeon that I should take a pepcid daily for the rest of my life. (I am a proximal rny). I must admit to being very baaaaadddd about not taking it. I do get nauseous on occasion and wonder if the antacid would help with that. Sometimes the nausea is dumping-related, like when I eat something slightly greasy but sometimes it happens out of nowhere. I thought the antacid might help with it a bit. Thoughts??? 38077 From: Vitalady <vitalady@v...> Date: Tue Apr 1, 2003 1:01am Subject: Re: Thanks and a couple of more questions!! WHAT antacid are you referring to? Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 my surgeon explained to me that it isn't necessarily for " reflux " .......but to protect the area where our intestines are attached to the new pouch.........this area is not used to the higher concentration of acid...........
