Acid Reflux

[kansasfan72574 13]

I am three weeks post sleeve and doing well except for acid reflux issues every morning. Going slow with the Protein Shakes in the morning around 8. Then doing Water till 11. Eat a cream Soup around 12. About 4-5 oz. then back on water around 1 till 330. Having food processed items around 430. Last night was 4oz chicken breast processed. Ate about half. Then back on fluids again around 530 till around 9. shake again around 930. Bed at 10. But the mornings are horrible with the reflux. Anyone having this issue?

Are you on Prilosec or any acid reducer per your surgeon?? Should be on one every day after surgery for a while at least. I know my surgeon has his patients on one everyday for 3 months after surgery to help reduce the acid.

Yes, she put me on Prilosec and I take it every morning. Just doesn't seem to be working. She put me on it months before the surgery even though I had no reflux. But I sure do now!

Maybe you need more than one a day or need to try a different med. call your doctor and ask for something stronger.

I came home from the hospital on liquid Zantac. At 3 weeks post-op my surgeon added a daily Prevacid solutab. I take both religiously, and have no more acid issues.
