The Sleeve has the potential side effect of creating or increasing acid reflux/GERD issues, you *SHOULD* be on medication specifically for Acid issues. Are you avoiding all foods and beverages for at least an hour before bed? I'd reach out to your team and let them know what's going on, they are going to want to adjust or prescribe you some medication... get in touch sooner than later, you don't want the increased acid to cause issues with your still healing staple line. 1 Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hungryman 42 Posted September 13, 2018 I didn't know I shouldn't drink before bed I always drink some Water before bed. I have appointment Tuesday and it will be a topic of conversation for sure. I will try no water before bed tonight. The only change I can think of is had a few bites of watermelon that's not happening tonight!!! 1 Matt Z reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only change I can think of is had a few bites of watermelon that's not happening tonight!!! The reason for no water/food before bed is that it can still be in your stomach/pouch/sleeve when you lay down, so all the acid mixed Fluid now has a very easy path back up your esophagus. Hopefully that helps you out! Good Luck! 1 Wanda247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TakingABreak 2,733 Posted September 13, 2018 I still take 40mg of Omeprazole every night before bed. My surgeon indicated I could be on it for at least one year post op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
