Heartburn

[MissVVJJ 12]

Does anyone else have bad heartburn? It started all after surgery and no matter what I eat I get heartburn EVERYDAY!!! What else can I do besides chewing Tums.

are you taking a PPI?

[MissVVJJ 12]

PPI? I don't even know what that stands for lol. I had medications after but that only lasted for about a month post op.

7 days out from being sleeved and have had those instances of Heartburn occasionally.. Dr. Almanza gave us a take home ditty of medicine etc and found that the Milk of Magnesia liquid is working well when that comes on...Good Luck!!!

[MissVVJJ 12]

Well I am almost 5 months post op.

PPI stands for proton pump inhibitor. Maybe you should talk to your doctor about being prescribed some? Or look at the OTC heartburn options out there?

[MissVVJJ 12]

Oh ok, thank you.

I was advised by my Bariatric team to take an acid releaver for the first 6 months. I am 7 months out and still take one occasionally is symptoms flare up
