I'm on post op day 3 and my nausea and vomiting have finally gone away but now I have like all this acid reflux and nothing seems to help. I'm afraid whenever I burp I'll end up puking again. Any suggestions on what might help or words of encouragement to help get me through?

Did your doctor prescribe a PPI drug? Most do, but if not you should ask for one. I take 20mg. of omeprazole daily.

Is that like nexium? That's all my surgeon prescribed for me. It works ok but I still have a ton of gas build up inside me. It's kinda painful and so frustrating.

I was on 40 mg of omeprozole for the first month. Also try 2 GasX strips, they work wonders. And walk, walk, walk, it helps so much.

Yea thanks I'll try the strips. Walking around my house as much as I can but can't do steps yet so just been walking up and down the hall. How long did you have the build up for? When was your surgery?

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
