Hello,

Thank you for posting your query at DoctorSpring.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Omeprazole is a safe medication. It does not cause any serious side effects in young individuals like you.
You can take omeprazole for 8 weeks. Along with omeprazole the following should be done.
1. Avoid coffee, citrus, tomatoes, fatty food, carbonated beverages, mint, onion
2. Avoiding eating full stomach and eating smaller frequent meals ( which you must be doing after your sleeve gastrectomy)
3. Going to bed at least 2-3 hours after food
4. Avoiding alcohol and smoking.

If stopping omeprazole results in return of symptoms, you can continue taking omeprazole. Many of my patients are taking Omeprazole for years without any issues. You should not worry about it.

I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.R.K
