I did not have reflux before the gastric sleeve surgery but now it's in full force. I am 12 weeks out and have had mild reflux from the beginning but just recently it has gotten worse. I had an EGD a couple weeks ago that showed a hiatal hernia, esophagitis, gastritis and obviously reflux. The GI dr increased my omeprazole to 40mg twice daily and Carafate at night. Anything I eat or drink including water messes up my whole system. My stomach goes all crazy, I get pain, always feel too full even only eating an oz of food slowly. This is horrible, I hope it gets better and I don't need surgery again!!!

I did not have reflux before the sleeve surgery but have it now. It's horrible and everything I eat and drink makes me nauseous and irritates my stomach and esophagus. I just had another EGD and they found a hiatal hernia, said I have esophagitis and gastritis. I don't have a game plan just on medications and have a follow up in 3 months. Good luck to you!!!!

Thanks ladies!!!!

I had my surgery on the 12th of August so pretty much 2 months now. I'm down 34lbs from my highest weight. This is really horrible and I'm ashamed but I have fallen back into old eating habits already. I thought I was ready for this surgery emotionally but I was not. I am working on my food addiction and changing eating habits (starting anti-inflammatory diet.) I have major health issues which are not weight related that I deal with on a daily basis. My worry now is that I have caused a leak from eating bad stuff and over eating sometimes. I'm so scared but don't have any symptoms right now. Should I call my surgeon and ask for tests????? Oh I also have had crazy acid reflux since surgery which I did not have before. I really don't know what to do, I feel like such a failure!!!!!

Yes I take Prilosec daily @@Nevermind
