2 weeks out and all of a sudden acid.....?

[finally on my way 67]

Hi, I am 2 weeks post-op tomorrow and all of a sudden today I have had a lot of acid build up. Had to take some Pepcid again.

Hope it is temporary and maybe just apart of the healing process..?

Curious if anyone else experienced this?

Always appreciate all the great input, advice and thoughts.

Thank you

Any variation in your diet? The day I introduced greek yogurt into my diet was NOT a good day. I still cant eat the stuff without feeling like an alien is burrowing in my chest.

With any bariatric surgery there's usually an acid reducer we'll need for life. It's normal and Congrats on your new sleeve!!!

Post surgery I needed an acid reducer daily to even exist. Horrible heartburn without it. Also good tip on not eating or drinking and laying down...that really sucks.

I had the same situation 2 weeks out. My doctor had prescribed Pepcid, but it wasn't until I switched to Prilosec OTC that I found relief. The Pepcid just didn't work for me.

Thanks guys!

I am hoping that it is not a permanent thing. I have defiantly needed the acid reducer the last 2 days. If it doesn't subside I will be calling my doc to touch base. I have done so well, if this is my only issue I will not let it get me down, but just be glad there is a way to deal with it.

I really appreciate your replies
