---Wow you are the first person I've ever run into who's also had that surgery. It's been about 8 years and I've never needed any antacid or proton pump blah blah (my mind went blank on that class of meds) since. If your surgery was as successful as mine, I don't see why you would still need Nexium. (absent another related condition I don't know of). I believe the stomach acid is important to get nutrients and kill bacteria.I can't vomit, but I can have dry heaves, which came up this very morning because I took my wellbutrin and lamictal, and my asacol (for ulcerative colitis), and campral on an essentially empty stomach. I've gotten away with that in the past, but my stomach said enough is enough.
I'm just excited about your surgery. I think most people have already learned not to take a handful of pills without something in there.
good luck,
James K
