i had the worst type of heartburn/ gerd for years took nexium for years everyday for it. would always wake up clearing my throat coughing due to reflex that came up when i was sleeping..but after the sleeve and significant weight loss plus the addition of a adjustable bed so my head is way above my stomach has helped that i stopped taking my nexium..
