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?

i never had gerd/acid reflux :rolleyes:

my doc told me to take prilosec right after surgery

i will continue to take it for the rest of my healthier, happier, longer life

it's great to hear advice/suggestions/experiences from OP

we are the best of the best LOL

at the end of the day - ONLY/always listen to your surgeon/NUT (or me LOL)

they are there for you!!

good luck newbie

we're all rooting for you :)

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]
