Acid Reflux.... Will It Get Better

[Seemebetter 24]

I was sleeved 5/29 and I am having serious issues with acid reflux. I don't get the burn that every talks about its more like bubbles that keeps moving. It makes eating very hard...like I need another reason not to eat. It affects me all day no matter what I eat or drink. (Even water)

Has anyone else had this issue? Does it eventually go away? BTW I never had these issues before.

I am having the exact same issues. Only a month out, but it is so bad that I am having trouble getting anything down.

I probably should have mentioned earlier that I've already tried of cocktail medicines. I was in the hospital for 2weeks post op and this was one of my issues. I just really wanna know based on experience is this gonna be a life long issue?

I got some prilosec from my doctor - not sure if it's working since my acid reflux comes and goes, but yeah =/ I hope it goes away too.

I don't know if it will ever get better (for me). I came home from the hospital on liquid Zantac. That worked well until I was advanced to "soft/pureed" foods. After several days of that I started experiencing breakthrough acid reflux. My surgeon added a daily Prevacid "solutab" (it melts in your mouth), and bumped me back to full liquids for an additional 3 weeks. When I finally moved back to soft foods, I had no more problems with acid. I'm quite content to take my Zantac & Prevacid..never miss a dose..for as long as it takes! LOL (The reflux was miserable!)

I hope you find something that helps!

My doctor said that there is a procedure tht could fix I... but it also may take away some of the restriction. I am hinking about it if I still have it a a year from now. I want to be able to eat more. I was steadily losing weight b4 my surgery... it just wasn't going fast enough and consistently enough so I think I can handle a little more room in my belly after goal- even if its just salad! While I ponder whether I want to have it done.... Prevacid works great! They sell it over the counter but you have to take a double dose to make it equal to the Rx and the capsules are much bigger

[TiredOfChubRub 21]

What is the procedure called?

[SkinnyOnMe 81]

I didn't even ask. Lol. He just said there was a prcedure. Sorr. I'll let u know next time I speak with him.

I had a little bit of acid reflux before the op, but now I am really suffering from it. They have increased my dosage of Omeprazole which is starting to work. But I am barely eating now. Some days I don't eat at all as I know I will be sick. Whatever you do, don't drink wine!

I was thinking about a glass of wine last night. I had the worst episode of reflux at 2 am this morning. Woke up with burning in my chest. Bad pain. Took prevacid and hydrocodone. Ice chips did not help. Then I was nauseated so the pills came up . Thanks for the heads up. If I had drank the wine it could have been even worse.

You might try the Prevacid solutabs, instead of pills...they dissolve quickly in your mouth, and are orange flavored (not hideous).

Ive been taking Prevacid for about 5 years. This is the first time it came up. I will look into absorption rate thanks

well guys thanks for all the input today I'm on my way to see it acupuncturists. I read on the group that someone saw 1 and she never had a problem with acid reflux again. I really pray that says what happened to me. I did a bit a research and it seems that acid reflux is definitely 1 of the things that they can help with.
