Anyone NOT have reflux, but after the surgery developed moderate to severe reflux? Did it go away at some point?

Anyone HAVE reflux prior to surgery, but it got better after surgery? And at what point?

Reflux after surgery is very common because of the stomach being swollen and healing from surgery.

For me, I had mild reflux before surgery. I recently stopped taking my reflux meds and am 9 weeks out. So far, so good.

That is awesome! I don't have reflux at all, but just wondering about others experiences.

I didn't have it before. I have mild reflux now, but I'm only three weeks out. I'm hopeful that it will go away at some point.

I had it before, didn't have it at first, then got it with a VENGEANCE for a few weeks. Now I'm 6 weeks out and have none. Fingers crossed it's gone for good.

I have had an issue then just harsh heart burn so I got pentoprazole and it stops all issues!

I'm 4.5 weeks out. Developed reflux around 2 weeks. Never had it before. I'm hoping it's temporary!

I take prevacid daily. I had reflux before surgery but since I haven't had it at all, even with spicy foods.

i dont have any symptoms of relux but took a upper gi and it said i hade a couple of moderate episodes of reflux the surgeon wants me to get a endoscopy......he may not be able to give me the sleeve

Before surgery I had an UGI, then referred for Endoscopy. I had a hiatal hernia among other issues. Doctor gave me meds for the reflux. I was sleeved on the 19th and am still taking some meds for reflux/indigestion but did well. My surgeon repaired hernia when he did the sleeve. If doctor says no to the sleeve, ask him why. Do not give up!

thanks and i wont........ i was definitly not happy and very disappointed after all this work and appointments i do have a hiatal hernia which the report said was moderate in size......Im just really ready for this

I had re flux before surgery during both pregnancy's and if I ate certain foods. Now after surgery I have to take prilosec every day.

This is my chief complaint. I had no issues with acid reflux before surgery but now at 11 1/2 weeks out I am plagued by it everyday and have taken several different kinds of acid reflux meds with no relief at all. Have had 2 EGDs lately (one because of a stricture at 6 weeks post op) and may need another already.
