Did anyone develop acid reflux after VSG?

@@BitterSweet* I have never had a test done I just don't have symptoms. I don't want symptoms. So if I do and I can't tell that would be just fine with me.

i have a question..how does the belly do with pills after surgery? my prilosec pills are pretty big...how can i handle them the day after surgery? it is a question i'll be sure to ask.

I am day 4 post-op and my tummy has been doing just fine with all of the pills I'm taking. The percocet's are big and I'm able to get them down with no problems. A couple extra sips of Water with it also helps.

I got it...this has been the worst adjustment. My mom told me that it's been in the family though. I take acid reflux prescription pills every morning...and I'm praying that it goes away soon. Some people get it and some people don't...nothing strange.

I'm on pantoprazole. ..30 days. Doc hoping I'm good after that. I stopped taking for a couple days cause I thought I was fine after first week but I quickly found I needed to start taking it again. I'm just horrible taking meds. Good news is I'm off my blood pressure meds already!

I was diagnosed with severe gastritis during my pre-surgery endoscopy, though I rarely had acid reflux. I did have a bit of reflux the first couple weeks post-surgery and some mornings my stomach has a bit of an acidic feel to it, but once I take the acid meds I feel just fine.

Now gas...that's a different matter entirely.

Pre op certain foods gave me heartburn. Post op those same foods give me heartburn. But I would not consider that I have a problem with heartburn. There are like, three foods that bug me, most of them I don't eat. Cherries give me heartburn but I still eat them.
