Heartburn/ indigestion

[DawnyBoca 7]

Hi , I am almost a year out and down 135+lbs. I had a tough go as a sleever , but learned what to eat and how to adjust. Along with my sleeve I had a hiatal hernia operation. I thought this would solve my heartburn and acid reflux issue. Last few weeks heartburn has been creeping up again and rather painful. Any advice it thoughts? Zantac ? Milk? Tums? Help!!!

My Dr. put me on Prilosec (omeprazole) after surgery.

I was on Prilosec also for the first month. I did find however it wasn't enough to stop it from creeping up on me. I used liquid Gaviscon. I keep it in the fridge. hope that helps

I agree with you there. I keep Zantac on the side for more immediate relief.

I have had horrific GERD that, due to a physical anomaly, couldn't be relieved with the surgery. I ate Prilosec and Prevacid before surgery (Zantac never worked for me).

My bariatric GI recently prescribed two Pepcid max 20 mg (this is OTC) before bed, and I frequently take one additional in the day.

This works well for me 95% of the time and, as I as said, I have debilitating GERD.

Thanks - I took two tums- first in a year/. I was worried they would stretch my sleeve
