Yes unfortunately very normal. You should be taking an antacid (likely a PPI that your doctor prescribed). If you don't have a prescription, call your doctor for it and take Zanctac or Pepcid in the meantime. My understanding is that you take this med for at least 3 to 6 months post-op.

I feel the same if I eat or drink a little bit too much, but it's so hard to judge sometimes.

I take Esomerazole for GERD and I haven't had any problems. :)

I am having this problem!! I am 7 weeks out and no matter what I have severe heartburn all day long. And it makes it hard to sleep at night when your throat is on fire! I have been taking OTC meds for it. My doc said to take one dailyntomorrvent stomach ulcers. Well I've been taking at least three a day lately and I still have it! Any help would be appreciated!

Talk to your surgeon about trying a different medication. Some work better than others and everyone is different. If your surgeon won't work with you, talk to your PCP or a gastroenterologist.
