Hello, im about 6 weeks post op from vsg and having really bad acid reflux. Last night it was bad and i had to drink ginger tea to soothe the burning sensation. I am taking nexium 40 mg whicj helps, but when it wears off, its hell. There is not a day where i dont vomit, which i believe is due to the acid & Constipation. I have to get myfluids in between my nausea which is causing me not get enough fluids in. Im miserable. Im not even eating because i dont want to get really constipated. Please help. Its a marry go roung.

No but after omg this may be something you have to adjust to just watch what you eat and drink anything with alot of acid will make it flare up Orange juice Red sauces chocolate






See this is what I don't want, I've never had acid reflux in my life and I definitely don't want it it ... Ugh

I take Pepcid twice a day and that has helped me much. I also try to avoid any foods I know will cause it to flare up.

A lot of it comes from food and drink choices. Got to stay away from acidic items (tomatoes, citrus fruits), high fats, and spicy for sure.

But apple cider vinegar is supposed to help. And maybe some peppermint essential oil too. Some others out there too...can't remember them.

Hope you find relief too.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
