I am 5 weeks out yesterday and today for the first time I got terrible heartburn! What the heck is going on?? I would have thought I would have had it before now. I stopped taking the PPI a few weeks ago because I didn't feel I needed it. I started taking again today. I also have not been able to have a "poo" but once a week for the past 3 weeks. I started Miralx yesterday and I'm still waiting to see if that is going to help. I don't understand how I'm eating very little and with all the fluids I'm drinking that not going Poop! I hope it's not a stricture or something. thanks for listening

I'm almost 7 months out and still have the heartburn if I don't take my prevacid solutabs. I can go a day or two without them but then it comes back. My doc says this is normal, but I've read lots of posts that say it should be gone in 3-6 months.

Anyway, be sure to take your medicine because the acid is bad for your sleeve.
