Do anybody have really bad acid reflux since u were sleeved? If so, what r u doing to ease the acid?

I'm currently trying zantac 150 but not working

I haven't noticed acid since surgery but my Dr puts everyone one 30mg of dissolvible prevacid. So far haven't noticed any acid. I had it bad prior to surgery. Maybe try the prevacid.

Is that over the counter

My doctor prescribed omeprazole for 3 months. It has helped a little but still have it. Kinda gross since I've never had reflux before

I think you should ask your doc for something.. My doc puts everyone on Protonix for a whole year after surgery.. Said that people who have the sleeve often get acid reflux very bad

Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'll call him on Wednesday after the holidays..

Yes! But not like I did when I was pregnant, good Lord that's the worst! Anyway, I take omezeprole (sp?). It is over the counter and I believe it took about 3 days to start working but I haven't had any issue since. A prescription might be cheaper depending on your insurance but if you don't want to go down that route, just stop by your local grocery or drug store and pick some up.

I am on dexilant and it helps, most of,the time.

I did for the first... 3 weeks. I've never had reflux in my life so it SUCKED!

But I'm normal now, no excessive reflux

the dissolvable prevacid is a prescription. you can probably get over the counter and crush it up. but i would definitely consult your doctor first. hope you feel better soon!

How far out are you? I had really bad reflux for the first week or so and once I started on mushies it went away.....guess there was nothing to absorb the acid in the beginning but now it's gone and hasn't come back..... Best of luck

I'm doing great thanks for asking....this sleeve thing is much easier than I thought it would be.....seems I may have hit an early stall because I didn't lose any weight this week but I'm still happy...never had any regrets and still don't.....it's been a piece of cake......lol

If Zantac didn't work its time to step it up to a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like Prevacid which is over the counter but will be cheaper if you can get a prescription.

I had horrible reflux prior to surgery and have had absolutely none since! My doc said my hiatal hernia was pretty big so I think that is the reason the reflux is so much better now that the hernia is repaired.

Call your doc and get some Prevacid!
