hi missie,
i had a lot of burning pain 2 wks post-op. my surgeon had me take prilosec
(over the counter) one tablet a day. i am still taking one daily & i am almost 5 months post op. also, you might want to have chewable gas-x & tums with you at all times. food for thought. these items have helped me greatly in the last 5 months. take care & god bless, p.j.
