I had a hernia repair durring sleeve surgery an I have to be honest an say I have never had an reflux or heart burn issues until sleeve an hernia repair. My first 2 weeks out of surgery I constantly would get if:(

Now I get it a few times a wrk depending on what I eat but when I told dr about it he told me not to use Pepcid but Pepcid complete. It has worked wonders;)

@@Mocha2871 I am beginning to think I am like you. I get it no matter what. I could have an empty stomach and still get it! It is frustrating sometimes.

Yes!! Sounds just like me! But the Pepcid complete has worked miracles for me. As soon as I feel it coming I take one an it must work instantly, cause It stops;)

I even bout the generic cvs brand

I know this is an old thread but I don't want to clutter things up by starting a new one. I'm new and not sure whether a new post bumps up a thread?

I had terrible reflux after I lost all my weight with a lap band. Literally, as soon as I got really thin I became miserable with constant burning and night cough. I used everything available OTC. I ate so many Tums that I showed up with elevated Calcium in labs done for a work physical. My band was done in Mexico and I didn't have aftercare. I finally saw my PMD 2 years ago and was prescribed something that didn't work at all. I went back and was prescribed omeprazole which worked like a charm. No more burning.

I am day 11 post op after lap band to sleeve conversion, including hernia repair. I've been given liquid Ranitidine to take for 1 month and told not to take my omeprazole. All my old symptoms came back yesterday. Burning chest, constantly clearing throat. I see my surgeon for post op appointment today and I'm hoping for a medication change. I haven' done anything I can thing of to cause this. I've had only premade Protein drinks, Water, V-8 and chicken broth. The v-8 was 4 days ago.

I did get a virus/infection at the hospital and ended up with sore throat and ear aches. PMD gave me nasal spray but I've research here and found several people that take it without any problem.

I am a lucky one too. I am at 6 weeks and the acid is killing me. Have to start omeprazole once the prescription is filled.

Well I am 3 yrs and 6 months out and I am taking 40 mg of Omeprazole twice a day. I just had a MRI done and I am going to taking it for awhile. No matter what I do I wake up with it. No matter what I do. I tried not eating after 6 and only drink Water. Still woke up with it and when I was taking 1 pill a day it would wear off by 8pm. It would keep me up at night. But the pills twice a day make it tolerable.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
