WTG on the weight loss. Yes, I would suggest calling your dr to see if he will put you on a ppi, if you're not on one already. Best of luck.

Hey Ken,

Since we have the same doc, I guess it's possible that you're not on an acid reducer because he didn't give me one for after I left the hospital. I had to start myself on it after suffering from some bad reflux for a while. I got the OTC Prevacid cuz that's what they gave me in the hospital. After me complaining at a couple of post op visits, he gave me a script for it. But, it's seems kind of late for you to JUST be getting reflux. Have you tried any different foods recently or been sick?

Definitely let us know what the doc says.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
