I don't have any restictions from my doctor on this but the safest bet is something over the counter like Calcium carbonate aka Tums.

Karpouzian, hope you find some relief. I don't even have a surgery date yet and am looking for relief even being on prescription meds. It is totally annoying.

If it is any help, I have seen several people on the site say it gets better after the surgery. Some folks say the acid reflux / heart burn comes for a few weeks and subsides. Other say it stays. It just depends on the individual.

I have a friend of mine who is almost 2 years post-op and he has to take a rx med daily but it keeps his acid reflux under control.

A spoonful of apple cider vinegar, aloe Vera juice, cucumbers, baking soda in Water, green apple, pickle juice..

I've suffered with ulcers and acid reflux for over 10 years. Try these!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
