Hi All,

I am currently one week out from surgery. I am experiencing really bad heartburn and wanted to know if anyone is having the same issue. If so, what are some things that can be done to ease my misery!!?? Also, does it get better with time and weight loss?

My dr says that have of sleeve patients get acid reflux. I take 1 Prilosec daily and it takes care of any heartburn

I was "lucky" enough to get the really bad heartburn while I was still in the hospital. My doc prescribed me an antacid that I take two times daily. He said most people will have the reflux go away in about four to six weeks. He said a few unfortunates have it the rest of their life, but simply tell him and he can fix it for me if it continues.

I will say today has been the best day since the surgery. I was prescribed Nexium and what a difference a day makes!! I was able to enjoy Tomato Soup for lunch! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
