5 mos post op heartburn

[mnmlst 249]

Does anybody else have heartburn 5 months out? I just can't seem to get rid of it. For the most part I'm eating right and staying on my program. I don't think that it's diet related.

How do you manage it? Do you just take Omeprazole forever?

I'm not sure because I'm 5 month post -op and I just keep taking it BUT when I try to stop I'll let you know. It's too scary

My Surgeon told me before my op that i would have to take my Pariet (similar to your medication) for 6 months post op, so i do.

Seems that way, doesn't it? I never had reflux or heartburn before. Not even when I was pregnant. Now it is awful. I just got another refill on my Omeprazole script yesterday. I have my 5 month f/u appointment with my surgeon at the end of this month and I plan on asking him about the meds and if it is okay to take them forever (or close to it).
