Hey guys, I was sleeved last week, 5/24. I have been battling something...I guess it's acid?? Feels like "hot vapors" are coming up my esophagus. It happens a-lot, especially after I eat. Has anyone else experienced this?? It is really making me NOT want to eat or drink :(

That sounds like acid to me. If you're not on an acid reducer I would call and request a prescription or ask your surgeon what you can take over the counter.

I had it also. Doc said of the different surgery's the sleeve causes this more than the others. Nexium works best for me, I would favor a Protean Pump Inhibitor (PPI) like Nexium rather than the Tums or Rolaids. Before i got my prescription, I crushed up a Zantac and that provided some relief. I think the only OTC PPI is Prilosec.

You can also get OTC generic omeprazole which is a PPI.

I am having the same issues. Prilosec OTC did work. My doc perscribed Reglan and I also use Gas X for thr gas pain.

I can't believe there are doctors out there that DONT send you home with PPI"s automatically!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
