Heartburn Anyone? How Bout A Side Of Joint Pain?

[Losing4Lundyn 0]

I am 4 months post-op and down 75 lbs (yay!), but suddenly I'm noticing heartburn and possibly too much acid in my stomach causing ulcer-like pains (it feels like someone is trying to burn a whole through the wall of my stomach). Sometimes it seems to get better with food and/or Tums. Anyone else experience this? I thought I was cured of heartburn once and for all!

Also, since I've lost all this weight, I started hurting MORE! I started having knee pain just a year or so before my surgery which went away at some point post-op. Now that I'm the lightest I've been in over 10 years, my ankles have started hurting when I go shopping as do my feet, and my hips! Why the hips?? My knees will hurt on occasion too. Is it from increased exercise, possibly?

Thank you for your input!

Sorry no I haven't had heart burn but lots of burping.

LOL Yes, the burping. That's for sure! Thanks for the response!

No heartburn here, but if I feel like my pouch isn't feeling right I take a Prilosec which makes it feel better.

Sounds like ulcers to me , I was going through that pain before I had surgery , very painful my husband thought I was nuts, cause I tell him my inside is on fire! Found out it was stomach ulcers my surgeron put me on Pepcid and that helped a lot

I had that pain the second week after my first RNY, I became allergic to prevacid so was put on nexium and to this day I have had no problems only the two times I forgot to take it.

Well, I had an endoscopy done and found out that I had a stricture, but no ulcers. That's what I was concerned about. It's likely that they're just hunger pains, but man, it's painful! I have to keep something to eat with me at all times so that when it strikes, I can put something in my tiny tummy. I was really hoping to never have to take an antacid/reflux med again; but by the sounds of it by hearing your stories, I just might have to.
