Morning acid indigestion issues



Recommended Posts

So anyone out there who is suffering from I think acid indigestion?

I am 3 weeks post op and it just started this week (well maybe got worse) - I am waking up with what I think is acid indigestion/gerd? I can't eat Breakfast nor want to drink anything. It takes a good few hours to get better after I wake up. It's a horrible feeling. I am taking my meds still and Mylanta everyday. I take it in the morning as well but it doesn't help for few hours atleast.

What is this? Anyone else have this issue? Any remedy/suggestions to make this go away?

Put blocks under your bed's feet at the head of head of the bed. Even a 3-4 inch incline will do a lot to improve morning GERD.

I will try that. I feel like the acid is up to my throat - maybe its Regurgitation? I have no idea what this is but it's very uncomfortable for sure.

I wrote to my doc's office. I am waiting for them to respond and or even prescribe me something. Its hard to explain when you don't know what it is really :(

Didn't they put you on something for acid after surgery? At my group, we all take omeprazole for four months to aid in healing.

Yes they did. I am taking it twice daily plus Mylanta 20 mins before each meal.

I was able to talk to the doctor. He suggested I take Gaviscon Dual Action.

So I'll go get that and try it out. He also said that I should start off my day with warm tea or something warm so it soothes the acids.

Try green tea or a soothing herbal mixture, no peppermint per my gastroenterologist. When I was little my godmother would give me peppermint to soothe my tummy, now he says pepper is in the beginning of the word for a reason.

ok I am back again.

Nothing and I tell you nothing has helped me so far. I have elevated my bed and my pillows, I am taking omeprazole, gaviscon, zantac, ginger teas, milk, yogurt

I am so desperate to get help! My acid reflex is not getting any better. I am miserable:(

      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?
