Rene' S 14 Posted March 7, 2019 Hello, As of Monday, I was two week post op. Had my follow up visit on Monday with no issues and was moved to stage 2, mechanical soft. On Tuesday afternoon, I had pain and pressure in my chest. It kind of went in waves. No burning that I could tell. Still had it pretty bad today, when I called my surgeons office she told me to got the ER. Of course I was petrified of what it could be. ER ruled out some things such as blood clot. They really couldn't tell me what it was. I asked if they think it was GERD but they didn't say for sure. They just suggested I talk with my PCP to get a stress test. Not sure where that came from. I am currently take Prilosec, one a day. Thoughts would be appreciative. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's subsiding now and I can drink Water without feeling like I'm having center pressure pain. I did eat some cream of wheat and I had severe pains in my stomach. One come to believe I ate too quickly. Is your pain associated with eating or just a constant pain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JDUDA 10 Posted March 7, 2019 When I would eat to much or if the food got stuck it would hurt in the middle of my chest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berry girl 2 Posted September 27, 2019 For a couple of years now there have been reports of the danger of heartburn drugs/PPI blockers like zantac that are commonly used to help with the side effects of gastric surgery. Today Canada officially recalled these drugs due to their link to cancer. Personally, I am completely dependent on these drugs due to the acid reflux side effect of my gastric sleeve. If you use these prescriptions daily, I strongly urge you to contact your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible. https://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2019/70989a-eng.php?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=77363999&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8zLyVDfQD8I8hCu3-XeY7Fh97rFTkpD6v27F37TI29RzLKaNdKiDz_TiM1BKOzRo_NfiS6IqmuYpTuPc_HRfMUlmpaxA&_hsmi=77363999 image-0.00596046447753906.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
