Heart burn post op



Recommended Posts

The last couple of days my throats been burning and when I drink either my Water or shake, I have lots of gurgly noises from stomach to my throat. I'm 14 days post op. Not sure what to make of this. I will call my Dr. tomorrow but has anyone else had this? I did take a Pepcid before and it seemed to help.

I don't know if this is the reason or not, but did the surgeon prescribe a medication to minimize the stomach acid, i.e., Protonix? Best to call though.

I have been taking Omeprozole since surgery (12/23/2013) with no problem with reflux. I did have a sore throat for a couple of weeks. My tummy still gurgles quite randomly. Sometimes it is quite and sometimes it sounds like a fierce dinosaur fight. Not even sick to my stomach either way.

I take Omeprazole daily since surgery too, prescribed by my dr since the day of surgery. I think this is standard for all sleeve patients. If you cannot get an answer from your doc's office fast you might want to buy something over the counter and try it.

As far as the noisy stomach, mine is just randomly gurgly every day and I'm 4 months out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
