Acid reflux !

[megnun21 22]

I'm nearly two weeks out now (so still on liquids) last night I was woke up during the night from a burning sensation in my throat which got worse as I swallowed when I looked it up its looks like it was acid reflux. I've never had it before did I do anything wrong ??? What could have caused it ??

That happened to me too, early post op, and I was on a PPI (acid reducer).

I stopped drinking V8 and Tomato juice.

The surgery can create acid reflux.

I elevated my pillows, had OTC acid remedies, nothing was helping until I changed to Nexium 40mg.

This completely got rid off acid reflux for me, as prior Nexium I was really suffering for about 3-4 weeks post op.

Rabeprazole and Pantoprazole did not work for me.

Nexium is long lasting, and saved me from reflux hell.

I never had GERD or suffered from reflux prior surgery, but I did suffer badly post op.

Now, close to 8 months post op, I have slowly weaned myself from Nexium, and I am still reflux free.

Talk with your surgeon and ask for a strong acid reducer.

Good Luck!
