Constant acid reflux 2 weeks post

[clcp1980 4]

Two week ago I had a Loop DS / SADI and my very large hiatal hernia repaired. As of 2 days ago I started have constant heartburn and reflux. I have tried taking Tums and my Rx ppi without getting any relief. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this a complication of the surgeries? I'm not sure what to do.

Thank for your support!

I had the sleeve, but I did develop acid re-flux immediately after surgery.

I had to change PPI's, and add zantac at bedtime.

Work with your Dr. and I'm sure you'll work out a fix. Something as seemingly benign as Crystal Light can cause it - for me at least.

Good luck!

I also had the sleeve. Omeprazole and Nexium weren't working for me, now I use Prevacid that seems to be working better although I still take tums occasionally

Mine started about a month post-op. I thought pregnancy taught me about acid reflux but this was like OMFG!!!!!!!!!

Lansoprazole is the one that works for me. I find I take one every two or three days and that keeps me comfortable. The burn is absolutely unreal if go more than 3 days. It's among the most common and persistent post-op things we are stuck dealing with. Something will work for you. :-)
