I had my Sleeve surgery on 9/30/15. I am currently eating normal foods but I'm getting heartburn after I eat!

Typical small meals are Proteins and veggies, no breads/rice/potatoes type of carbs...before surgery whenever I ate breads/starchy carbs I would get heartburn.

My surgeon did have to repair a fairly large hiatal hernia during my surgery.

Anyone else have this experience?? Any suggestions??

My surgeon asked I take an antacid for 60 days after surgery. Talk to your surgeon and let them know what is going on. Hope this gets resolved soon.

I agree with the suggestion to get a prescription for an anti-acid. Are you eating slowly and chewing enough? NOTE: I am not at the soft foods stage yet.

You need a PPI such as prilosec or the genric omeprazole. Your body hasn't caught up to your new tummy yet and is producing the same amount of acid in a much smaller space. Additionally that new tummy is working hard to break down all the high Protein you are feeding it. You can buy OTC or ask your doctor for a prescription.

I was sent home with a prescription for a PPI. I now just buy generic Omeprazole... I still take it.
