ACID REFLUX BEFORE SLEEVE....CHANCES OF HAVING IT AFTER?



Recommended Posts

So yea i have learned not to long ago that i have acid reflux.... being on here though i have read about a number of people who get it after surgery do you think that after surgery the chances it'll go away are slim? Do you guys think it'll get worse? HELP! CUZ I HATE THE FEELING AND I WOULD MUCH RATHER IT GO AWAY.

Well...I was on Nexium for about 16 years before I had this surgery and now........no more acid reflux...You have a 50/50 chance of it getting worse or better...you my dear will just have to wait and see.......

I dont have it that bad.... i think it depends on what i eat... so hopefully surgery would help. :(

Never had acid reflux or heartburn prior to surgery now, if I forget my med I'm in a world of hurt.

My husband used to eat tums like candy, after surgery he very rarely gets anything. Maybe twice since surgery in June.

Like others said it truly is 50/50!

I asked my dr what my chances were of getting rid of my slipped lapband induced reflux after the sleeve. He said low. That I will probly be on a PPI forever.

If I hafta take 2 pills a day forever in lieu of losing 100 lbs, Im willing to do so.

      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.
