Your Surgery and GERD?

[JosieAppleHead 74]

Hi guys, I am 3 months out and Tuesday after eating what was available for me to eat, as healthy as my choices would allow at the school cafeteria, I developed what I thought was gas in my right back and chest area. I took gas strips to no avail, stool softener to no avail. This pain will not go away and it gets worse when I eat or swallow anything like a stabbing. Googling mentions GERD just wondering if anyone has developed these symptoms after surgery? My Gallbladder was removed 22 yrs ago if that means anything.

Call your doctor. It may just be gas. You may need to take something on a regular basis for a while. I needed 40 mgs of omeprazole (generic prilosec) daily from months 3 - 6.
