I have occasional reflux, and when I do have an episode (usually from a poor food choice), it is pretty uncomfortable. What have your experiences been with reflux and the sleeve?

TIA!

i was just asking that too i was just sleeved last week but i have read that it will go away after a few months so i left hospital with the prescription pepcid 1 tablet 2x a day for 90 days i was also given maalox at hospital too so i brought that and take it too when needed it works pretty quick .. if this is gonna resolve itself in a few months i can deal with it but i have decided not to eat or drink anything that will aggrevate it .. i notice the gatorade and any juice like diet snapple triggers it quickly so back to plain Water..

good luck

tell your doctor they will give you prescription

I have only had an issue once or twice, and I've eaten too much. I have had to learn to stop when satisfied and not keep eating. that does the trick for me.

I developed severe reflux after my sleeve surgery. I'm 2 years post surgery and will be revising to bypass on 7/1. There is not a particular food or drink that causes my acid. I can have it just with Water. My acid level was measured at 409% greater than normal. I'm currently taking a combination of Protonix/Dexilant/Zantac daily and I remain uncontrolled. I hope it resolves for those of you having issues with reflux

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
