Anyone else experience immediate and constant heart burn?

No but I would have had I not been prescribed a PPI did you get a prescription for one? If not you may want to ask. That acid is not good on your new stomach.@@OldMomOf3

I came to ask the same question as Elode. I was prescribed 40mg of Omeprazole immediately post-op and instructed to take it every day for the first 2 months.

My doc prescribes for the first year. I had to double up, 40 mg at night 40 mg in the AM. It also helped to raise the head of my bed for the first month.

I actually just called my doctor about this because it's interfering with my Fluid and Protein intake and waiting on a response. I'm Prilosec 20mg. I'm still sleeping sitting up. This morning I took a sip of Water to moisten my mouth and it boiled for about 2 hours. I'm 12 days postop. I do know that a lot of PPI takes a little while to start working. Like 3 days...I hope you get some relief. I've never known GERD like this and have had it since I was 20.
