Acid Reflux

[shay_29 7]

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.
