Weird Stuff Going On



Recommended Posts

so for the past week i've had this weird stuff going on. i have this constant gurgly feeling in the back/bottom of my throat. also have a mild nausea. almost like mild morning sickness but i am NOT pregnant!!!! lol! having trouble getting in all my fluids because of the nausea and haven't been eating much lately either for the same reasons! occasionally i will get some acid burps after drinking Water. i am a 7weeks and 2days post op and have been on Protonix for the last 3 weeks. i was feeling really really good for the last few weeks and now this is happening! i am assuming it has something to do with too much acid but i can't figure out why the protonix wouldn't be taking care of that!?!? anyone else have these symptoms at any point in time???

Sounds like you might need to try a different med. I use prilosec. Over the counter. Walmart brand.

i figured that is what's up. i tried the prilosec otc and it didn't do much for me! i think i'll just call my doc to see if i can try something else!

If it were something related to the stomach acid regarding the gurgling in your throat...you would likely have heartburn as well. I would get checked out.

It's always best to call the Dr. when symptoms get worse over time instead of better. Let us know what you find out.

I'm on Protonix and started having reflux a week or so ago. Called the doc and he started me taking two a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. That fixed it. I'd call the doc if I were you.

talked to my doctor a few days ago and he suggested i start taking my protonix 2xday. he also gave me a liquid medicine i can take up to 4xday if needed to coat my stomach and make it easier for me to eat. he told me to give it a week or 2 and let him know if it doesn't start to get better. thanks everyone for your suggestions and concern!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
