Question:
Inflammed Stomach
I'm 2 mos out. I have an inflamed stomach which reasons are unknown at this time. Has anyone had this happen to them? What did the dr have you eat or do to help with the inflammation? Is there anything I can do about the pain? It hurts all the time whether I eat, drink or do neither. — Corina C (posted on January 17, 2009)

You didn't mention what type of surgery, but I had the GVS and my doctor
had me take prevacid under the tongue for 3 months, he is an instructor for
these surgeries and has found that the prevacid helps heal the stomach.
Good Luck! I hope your pain goes away soon, Prayers be with you.

I had a lot of damage from acid reflux and I was on Prevacid as
well...There is a suspended liquid form (which I didn't try) I use the
capsules...Open one and take a few chews (YUCK! but not too bad) But only
because I had RNY and need the med in my pouch immediately...Rather than
wait for a capsule to dissolve.... It helped heal me! Every once in a while
(Very rarely) I get a gut burning feeling and take a prevacid and it's gone
in minutes and doesn't return...
Talk to your doc about it and see if that's a good option for you...because
it takes the pain AND heals...so it perfect if it's right for what ails
you!

The first thing that came to my mind is are you taking anything for pain
besides Tylenol? Insaids will wreck your tummy.

I had the VSG and had a lot of inflamation right after surgery, which I
could feel as well as the doctor could see on the CT scan. My doctor gave
me in injection of an anti-inflamatory, that the medication would last for
two months or so. Good luck to you and I hope the pain passes soon.

Check with your docs. Perhaps you need to be checked out before you take
pain meds or any of that. Good Luck and God Bless,
