Heartburn & Sore Throat... ouch!

[NeedaBreak4Me 1,755]

Okay.... so its been 2 weeks that I've had this issue now.

I eliminated all spices and herbs from my diet, stuck to poached poultry and steamed foods... stayed away from pretty much everything with no improvement.

I did notice that it seemed to get worse a couple of hours after taking my PPI. Which i though was odd.

So, I spoke with the surgeon, he said to double my dose to 40mg.. 20mg on the morning and 20mg in the evening.

So i tried it 3 days go... and omg i had the worst heartburn and regurgitation... and could barely sleep.

So. The last 2 days i haven't taken my PPI at all..... and guess what... gone... completely gone.... the ppi is what is causing the issues i think.

I'm giving it a few days before i confirm that its not just a honeymoon period of feeling better. ... but I'm pretty sure thats it.

I have gerd and I have the same symptoms when I don't take my meds so yours mite not be strong enough

How have u been I think we got sleeved the same day ❤

I've been great.... everything is back to how i was pre surgery... I've had catch ups with friends, full day outings, I've attended dinner parties... and no one can tell I've had WLS... they all have commented on how good i am looking and my story of eating high Protein and low carb is believable... so I've been able to be treated normally too.

How are you feeling now? Hows your recovery?
