Acid reflux really sucks. They have done changed my meds one time and sometimes it seems like it isnt strong enough. I feel for you. It is like the more fluids I get in the more it wants to act up today being one of those days

Yes Carol it does! I can bare the pain from the incision sites, I can deal with the nausea, I can deal with not being able to eat but the acid reflux I can't! It's the most uncomfortable feeling I've ever experienced and it's at it's worse when I drink water.I went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist told me to take the Pantoprazole in the morning a half hour before Breakfast and use Tums through out the day as needed.

I take prevacid prescription strength daily at least 30 min before I eat. I still have days it acts up. Not bad. Then other days I cant hardly eat. Dr told me if it was acting up I may want to eat more.

      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.
