reflux issues

[murphman 0]

my wife's surgeon is concerned about issues with reflux post surgery. Has anyone that has had the sleeve done experienced reflux after the fact? If you have, how has it been handled? Thank you

Yep before and after. For me. 1/2 Prilosec a day.

Yes I had it before and it is actually worse now. I am on Pepcid twice a day.

I had bad reflux before, and nothing now (so far; it's only been 10 days.) My surgeon also did a hiatal hernia repair. Originally he was not in favor of the sleeve for me because it's contraindicated for reflux, but after I researched the lap band I didn't think it would work as well for me. I'm happy with the choice.

This reflux I had prior but after as I began the week of foods to try; I noticed it after eating too fast and not a erraser size piece slowly. My doctor gave me some reglan spelled wrong probably:( but it's for children with reflux. After the week, I backed up and began to eat more slowly and it went away. I only notice the feeling of it if I eat tooo fast or the portion size is too much. I don't take anything for it now/ but if I feel full get up and walk around some and it works. Good luck...
