ulovecherish 3 Posted August 4, 2013 I never had heartburn before surgery, now it seems like I always have it. Is that normal? 1 Cheer Mama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted August 4, 2013 Me too! Rarely had heartburn before (struggled with nightime reflux from a slipped band tho) but have it all the time now. My dr changed my rx from Prilosec to Pepcid post op. 3 days ago I thought I'd give the Prilosec a go again and haven't had heartburn since. Guess the Pepcid doesn't work for everyone. Try a different PPI (if ur even on a PPI). Something else may work better. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheer Mama 166 Posted August 4, 2013 Call your doc, he/she knows best.... I have it bad enough now that I have doubled up on the ppi per doctors orders and I have started to notice relief. More/diff meds may give you relief..... good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
