I was sleeved on 12/19, and around days 2 and 3 postop I had horrible heartburn and acid reflux that woke me up in the middle of the night. My surgeon had already prescribed me Protonix, which I was taking every morning as directed. When I asked him about it, he suggested I take a dose of Carafate right before bed, and it has helped tremendously! Also, I've been sleeping propped up so that I'm not laying flat on my back which has helped as well. I've also heard people suggest a heating pad. Good luck! Email your doctor if you can't find relief! They should be able to prescribe something for you.
