tips for acid reflux and heartburn



Recommended Posts

i recently had another fill and not over tight. i had to have a defill one time because i was so tight and experience coughing ,joking and reflux.

after eating i wait over 2 hours before i lie down. sometime i try to fall asleep with head up to make sure i don't can't heartburn or reflux. it ends up bothering me through the nite or after i wake up.

i feel i could go for another fill but abviously not.

i am very concerned about this because of ending up getting a esophagus repair down the line and ruining my stomach.

maybe it was that tartar sauce at red lobster. i love my scallops and rice there.

i have to watch the greecy stuff,acidity stuff, or maybe i am eating too much even though i handle it.

is pepto a liquid ok to take than those kinds of rolaids and that galveston or whatever its called?

any advice appreciated.

May want to ask your PCP about a proton pump inhibitor like protonix. Put a 2X4 under the front (casters/stand) of your bed. Build up to a 4x4. Stop going to Red Lobster, they're overpriced. FYI...if you go just order from the appetizer section...my wife had a bypass, me a lap band, three small appeizers or two large ones is our limit. One of the perks of bariatric surgery should be cheaper checks at your favorite feed bag establishment. Remember nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
