Ever since I was operated on I have suffered from acid reflux and wind, I burp like crazy and its driving me mad. I had hoped this would clear and it would be just trapped wind from the op but 3 weeks on and I am still doing it and the reflux is still really bad.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so how did you get rid of it? My drs have given me meds to help with the reflux but I am still suffering.

I hear a lot of people having acid reflux after being sleeved. I had gerd really bad and my Dr wanted to do the by pass instead of the sleeve, but I really didn't want the by pass. I'm on pecid twice a day and I've been having Acid reflux a little. Praying it will go away. My Dr said if it gets really bad he would have to do a reverse to by pass. Now I'm second guessing myself. Should have done it like he recommended. Good luck!!'

I haven't had the acid problem since early out but the burping and such does get better with time. At 5 months out I still get incredibly loud hiccups when I'm full. Embarrassing but funny and way less embarrassing than not being able to fit in a booth!

I had the acid reflux the second and third day post surgery. I just took chewable Pepcid and it worked :). Thankfully.

I am 12 days out and my shoulder is killing me. I take the gas ex strips but would the gas from surgery still bother it 12 days out?

Oh my!! My right shoulder has been hurting so bad. Never had that problem before. I'm 4 weeks out. Not sure if it's related to the surgery or not. But would had be in your shoulder

      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.
