GERD reflux

Hi, I'm 2 days short of four weeks post op. I'm having severe reflux. I can't keep anything down. Has anyone had this issue? Please let me know how you addressed it. Thank you

Your profile doesn't say what surgery you had but if you're vomiting, call your doctor. It's not normal and you may need some medication or something for the reflux. It can also damage your new stomach.

Hi, thanks for the response. I have emailed my Dr. I saw him last Friday and he didn't suggest anything.

I'm was regretting the surgery the first 2 weeks but now I am back there again. It's just awful being so dehydrated and just not getting on top if this.

Yes, I am 3 weeks 4 days. Since getting sleeved I have developed acid reflux I never had before. I was given Pepcid as one of my take home meds but that wasn't cutting it. Now I am on Prilosec and all is much better. Good luck to u! No regrets! In a few months when we get these little tweaks figured out and weight is dropping. I believe it will all be worth it!!!

Also I have twice gone in to my PCP and received IV fluids for dehydration. Take care of yourself proactively. Good luck again
