khaled 23 Posted June 5, 2015 Hello all, I am new to the forum. My surgery date should be in mid-July. I read a lot of stories about Acid reflux and GERD, and I am really scared. I never had any problems with Acid reflux but I am worried that I will after surgery. Any advice? Comments? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anikka 32 Posted June 5, 2015 My daughter in law had horrible reflux before surgery and post surgery she's had none at all. She's also on almost regular foods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhclikesshopping@gmail.com 285 Posted June 5, 2015 hi hi! I was also scared of reflux. I never had it until after surgery. and the first time - I thought I was going to DIE! Here is my advice - I do not eat any solid food after 6 pm (maybe 6:30). Since I made this my normal practice, I have not had any reflux. It does not really matter what food I am eating or if my bites were too big.... its all about time for me. I have my daily Protein shake after my final meal in the day and it seems to be better. Yes - I am 2 1/2 months post op and still need a Protein Shake to meet my daily requirements. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khaled 23 Posted June 6, 2015 Thank you everyone @@jhclikesshopping@gmail.com I hear we are supposed to take acid reflux medicine for six months till the stomach is used to the amount of acid, after that everything will be ok and you will not need to use acid medecine.
