Reflux

[speechick1969 22]

I'm almost two weeks post op and things have been relatively easy so far. Today, all of a sudden, I have awful reflux. All day. Sometimes to the point of some emesis. Tried a gas x strip, but that didn't touch it. Does anyone know of something to relieve this?

Thank you!

Has your surgeon prescribed you a PPI such as Lansoprazole, Esomeprazole, or Omeprazole?

If not, I'd visit Walmart or Walgreens or CVS and get some Omeprazole (a.k.a. Prilosec OTC). Most of us had to be on acid reducers for several months post-op.

You can also take the Prilosec in conjunction with an H2 blocker such as Famotidine (Pepcid) or Ranitidine (Zantac), also sold over the counter at Walmart & Walgreens.

I'm on protonix and I have been taking two Zantac. I don't have heartburn but I do have that feeling of something stuck in my rib cage. I'm terrified of it not going away. I start puréed food on Monday.
