Usually your surgeon gives you acid reducers? Mine gave me a months supply and I then went to my family doctor to get more :) those should help! The surgery produces a lot of acid

I take omniprezole (generic Prilosec) once a day for sure, twice a day if needed. My surgeon said anywhere from 6 mo-1 year stay on it.

I take protonix. It's a cheap script, and works like a charm.

I never had it prior to surgery either but now I have it and its pretty bad. I was taking 2 Previcid 24-hour's every day and still popping antacids but doctor just put me on Nexium 40mg and 1 pill a day does it. Im 11 months out so Im hoping it slows down soon otherwise Ill have to get scoped.

Aloe Vera. I has it really bad. You can buy aloe vera to drink. Works so well. Good for you.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
