Uh Oh, Acid Reflux Just Showed Up - 3+ Months Out

I am having some acidy feeling in my stomach, and i have not been able to associate it with a particular food or situation. Before the acidy feeling, I had noticed some nasueau feeling (not severe, but noticable).

I will see the doc next week, but curious if others have had the acid/heartburn show up 3+ months out from surgery? I have been drinking a cup of coffee a day since 8 weeks, so am eliminating that (not that i associate the acid with coffee, but i figure I should try eliminating anything questionable). Any other ideas of what to try?

I have been taking one proselec every morning since my surgery... no change there.

I have felt very happy with my results, no big complications, happy with my weight loss... so this is discouraging... like I am experiencing a complication when I had thought i was "out of the woods."

No coffee here at all and I have not taken anything for acid since week 2 post op. I just try to stay away from foods that are high in acid. It might be the coffee and will be interesting to see if you have a change after stopping the coffee.

I will suggest you to talk your surgeon about seeing a GI if you reflux persist . I had Acid Reflux prior surgery,gerd and I still have reflux but is not as bad as it was.

Maybe you need to switch for another anti reflux medication? Let us know what your Dr say

I resemble this very much though my surgery was 12/5 I was only recently having the same experience with reflux. It comes at the same time I may need to have my thyroid med reduced due to afib. I was due for a blood test in a week or so so went early and am waiting to see the results. I'm down 62# at this point. The weight loss has slowed to a crawl...
