I had to take Prilosec before my heartburn would go away. I'm glad you found something that works on yours -- it's a PIA to have heartburn.

It's a little frustrating - I hardly ever had issues with heartburn presurgery but now it's pretty frequent. I started taking my Lansoprazole again but it's not helping much. Tums seems to help most of the time, but I'd rather not rely on them.

I *STILL* don't regret the surgery tho - I like getting full eating less than a girl!

Tums is Calcium carbonate, sleevers need calcium citrate. I have also been reading a lot about rebound acid from Tums and that Gaviscon is a better option for quick relief.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
