3 weeks out and suddenly heartburn



Recommended Posts

Hello all. I am about 19 days out from surgery and since last night I have had constant heartburn. The back of my throat is burning. I popped two tums but nada. I am also on Pepcid 20 mg twice a day just as a post-op regiment. I am planning on giving one more day before calling the surgeon.

What I would like to know is others’ experiences: did anyone have GERD symptoms this early? If you did was this just a temporary adjustment from the surgery or is this a forever issue for you?

Hi,

So sorry about your heartburn. My surgeon prescribes Prilosec or Omeprazole DR for the first three months.

Would that help you?

Probably! Called the dr. Office and they are taking me off the Pepcid and starting me on pantoprazole. If that doesn’t work nexium.

How have you been doing the last few days? I hope you're feeling better & the new meds are keeping things controlled.

Thanks for asking! I am doing a little bit better. The pantoprazole is controlling the acid for the most part. I still wake up with it and get it intermittently, however it is not the constant burn I was experiencing.
