Hello,
Thanks for you query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern
How is nature of your pain burning/dull/ on-off? Is relieved or worsened by anything?
What was the reason for your hemicolectomy operation
Till then you can take omeprazole/ ranitidine/ antacid to relieve your symptoms.
Please feel free to discuss
Thanks

Hello,
Your pain is most probably due to hyperacidity. Please continue taking omeprazole 1 tablet for 10 days. Please see a doctor as sson as possible for physical examination.
