I'm 1 month post op and my doctor has me on Prilosec 40Mg . I have issues all the time with regurgitation. I done experience heartburn but just the regurgitation. Does this go away? Am I doing something wrong?

If food is coming back up you're eating too much or too fast, or drinking with meals. At least that's what it sounds like. Any sleeve discomfort and a heavy feeling in the back of the throat? Runny nose or excess saliva? These are all indicators that we've eaten too much. They take time to learn. More time for me than I care to admit. Lying down after a meal makes it worse, as does drinking.

All I could do is very slowly eat and stop well before I felt done, to allow my food room to swell in my sleeve. Then nothing would come back up.

If this isn't the issue, you might have a more serious reflux issue and need to see your doc for stronger meds.

But it's usually the learning curve. It's new to us. You'll get it.

Congrats on your new sleeve and good luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
