Im Not Feeling Well

[TheNewSusie 471]

Have the worst reflux and for some reason nausea , I'm 2 weeks out tomorrow and today is when I get all these horrible symptoms. I take my meds and they help a little but not much... I'm hurting and it's bothering me! Ugh! Had to let that out, I'm gonna try to lay down, I've been on my feet all day.

Try chewing up some Tumms and take some Mylanta before you lay down....When you lay flat the acid reflux tends to get worse. The Mylanta will coat your stomach. Acid Reflux and Heartburn are the ONLY issues I have had since my surgery.. I had no pain, no gas, no nausea, nada.....I guess on that note I am lucky... It gets better though but you just need to stay on top of it and take a daily med for heartburn. I eat a good 6-7 Tumms a day.... Usually 2 after each meal.....

Yup. Same here. The Pepcid is working finally and tums are a wonderful quick fix. Chew chew chew!

Call your surgeon and let him/her know. I started on liquid Zantac when I came home from the hospital, but started having breakthrough heartburn about 3 weeks later. I called my surgeon and he added Prevacid to my meds. Three days later the heartburn was completely gone. I would advise against taking anything over the counter without checking with your surgeon first!! Best of luck to you!

I take a daily heartburn med but both my surgeon AND nutritionist suggested Mylanta and Tumms if needed....... Just a fyi....
