I've been blessed w/never having heart burn, indigestion, acid relux.. But man, the burning, gurgling, burping, bubble things down my throat when I eat anything thicker that my Protein Shakes are S.C.A.R.Y! The Dr prescribed me Pepcid time released capsules, & I thought 'what for?' But if it's like this on Pepcid, man.. Am I gonna have to take this stuff forever? Is it just not working for me & I need to try something else? Or can I supplement it w/other things as well? Is Satan burning holes in my esophogas? Is there something proactive I can do? Help!

You need to call your Dr. and let him know Pepcid is not working for you. I know that some people need a prescription strength medication. I take Zantac twice a day and have NO issues at all so far. Call them and let them know you are suffering.

      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?
