I am 6 weeks out and have had major acid problems. I take a prescription med (Protonix) at night and take pepcid AC every time I eat, per my doctors instruction. The two medications work in different ways to curb the acid. This regimen has been a lifesaver for me!

My surgeon was Robert Marvin, MD. He is double-board certified in general surgery and critical care. I figured if a problem cropped up, he would definitely be able to handle it. His website is doctormarvin.com. He has been on the show "Heavy" which chronicles the weight loss journey of a couple of individuals. I appreciated his thoroughness pre-op. Also, he doesn't require a pre-op diet, which I really liked. Good luck in your journey! Feel free to pm me if i can be of assistance.

It's possible you may have a low grade urinary tract infection. Any other symptoms such as urgency, frequency or burning? If you are not well-hydrated, it is much easier to contract a UTI. Contact your doctor ASAP.
