Acid reflux getting bad 6 yrs after sleeve

[Sherry S 103]

I'm 72, almost 6 yrs after sleeve, taking Prilosec since surgery. Had acid reflux before but last night woke me up w/acid in throat and mouth.

Has anyone else had problems w/this? I see a new PCP monday due to mine going concierge. Any info appreciated.

it's not uncommon with VSG, but if it just happened that one time, it may just have been a fluke.

I've had issues w/gas and some acid indigestion (take Prilosec since surgery) but never had it as bad as last night where acid was up in my throat when I was sleeping. I see the Dr Mon and we'll see if a endo is called for.

Congrag on your awesome weight loss.

I just had a revision from sleeve to bypass due to gerd plus hiatal hernia repair.

Pretty sure there are quite a few others here that have had to do the same.

Thank you for your input. I hope it won't come to that but at least there is an option. I didn't know this was a sleeve problem before I got the surgery. I'll just take it one step at a time.
