3 weeks out and BAD reflux



Recommended Posts

Has anyone else experienced this? I was taking Prilosec for about a week and a half but the last time I took it, it made me throw up so I quit it. This constant burping is extremely annoying, does it get any better? Thanks all!

Hi and yes it does get better. I used gas x strips for the first 4 months to cut down on the discomfort and burping. If I were you I would ask the Dr. For a different type of medicine for the reflux. They have it in liquid form. I took that for the first month post op ( liquid form). Best wishes

Thank you so much, I see my doc on Monday and will ask him.

Hello...it does get better. Gas X also helped me. And, drinking much slower also helps - try not to swallow air while drinking. The burping did last for several months for me. Levsin also really helped me. You may ask your doctor about this if it is really bad. Good luck.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
