6mths po w lots of acid reflux



Recommended Posts

I'm 6 months post op. I have to take 2 prilosec every morning. Even throughout the day I can hear my tummy rumble. I make a gurgling sound when I drink. I went to the doc and he gave me Reglan, but it's side affects are not somthing I can function normally with. Has anyone encountered this same problem?

I too am having some really bad acid reflux. I am taking prescription prevacid in the morning and then Pepcid at night. My stomach is always gurgling. My next appointment with my surgeon is 7/30. I am hoping they give me something better!

As someone who has had heartburn for years, try Protonix. Works really well! If you are having heartburn that is regular and even up in your neck, that needs to be handled sooner then later. The damage can be severe and you don't want that. Good luck!

Totally agree.... I've tried everything out there having Gerd for years prior to my sleeve. Protonix has been my saving grace

      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?
