Reflux real bad

[dongger 0]

I was banded on March 10th,2006. Everything seems to going fine except for some serious reflux and Constipation. I am only doing liquids, and slowly at that. I have never experienced relux before my band. WIll a perscription refux med help?

It might help and you should call your surgeon. (But those drugs probably shouldn't be taken forever, so give yourself time to heal and then bug your doctor nonstop.)

You're 5 days out from banding.. Call your doctor!! This could be a simple case of swelling, restriction, etc.. OR it could be something more complicated. Please call your doctor.. .

Doug, I responded on the other thread you started about your reflux. In that thread, what you described sounded more like gas pains from the surgery than reflux.

My *guess* is that you wouldn't be constipated 6 days post-op if you're on any kind of a liquids only post-op diet. Of course, if you have pain, etc. - that's another story... but just because you aren't dropping off any kids at the pool doesn't mean you're constipated. I only bake brownies about once a week now.

I contacted my Dr. and was told to start walking and drink real slow in small sips. Besides walking, I have been sipping. Weetsin, I loved the baking brownies thing.
