avRose 20 Posted August 4, 2015 Hi all. I was sleeved about 24 hours ago and am having trouble with my liquids because when i sip I get heartburn. Has anyone ever experienced this? How long until it goes away? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,710 Posted August 4, 2015 I didn't have heartburn, but I had very painful contractions of my esophagus, as well as a lot of burping. It took a couple of weeks to go away, as I think it was related to the swelling. Once the swelling went down, it was much better. Are you on a proton pump inhibitor, like Prilosec or Nexium? My surgeon prescribes one for the first two months for ALL of his patients. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
