a lot of times when you think you are hungry it is really acid, ppi and other similar drugs limit the  the production of stomach acid

 it helps with gerd(acid reflux, heart burn) and may help you if you feel hungry all the time after you get your sleeve

 there may be side effects , gas,  low  blood iron levels calcium is harder for you to absorb if you don't use calcium certite

most sleevers are on one at least till there sleeve heals , some long term
