Faitheyfoo 6 Posted June 28, 2016 Okay so I know my doctor told me to take a pump inhibitor to prevent acid reflux but I haven't taken them and I haven't had any reflux at all. Anyone else finding that they don't have acid reflux after gastric sleeve surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MayMarie 349 Posted June 28, 2016 Even if you aren't experiencing reflux the PPI meds will reduce acidity in the stomach to promote healing. Take them until your surgeon tells you not to even if you don't have reflux issues Unfortunately I definitely do have reflux now and I never did before [emoji58] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
