Sorry ill be 7 weeks post op

im bearly 2 1/2 weeks out and i get that too but not a whole lot my Dr gave me a prelosec prescription i have to drink one a day for 3months ask ur dr maybe the can prescribe something stronger and last longer....

I asked for something stronger he said thats the strongest lol!it bothers me alot ugh.especially at night.i almost have to sit up sleep for it not to bother me.geez i hope it goes away soon.i dont wanna be on acid meds forever

Oh wow lol yes hopefully it will go away soon....i get some too at night it sucks hate the feeling ....

Im just shy of 3 mos and I will say my acid reflux is getting better.My dr had me on meds twice a day and I was taking that plus tums. Now I just take one at night before I go to sleep and no more tums. My dr also suggested that I dont sleep flat in the beginning weeks and that helped too.

lol @tums.I hated the chalkyness (if thats even a word lol) of it.lol........Im on zantac and its 300mg and to me its much better when I take it at night.

Im gonna talk to my doc about it and see what else i can do.i hate this feeling :-\

I take meds twice a day and also chew on Tumms here and there and I still have heartburn. My surgery was April 16th. It's the ONLY issue I have had since my surgery. I was on Nexium after surgery and it did nothing so I moved to over the counter generic "Rantidine" that I buy at Sams for around $10.00. Works better than the prescription stuff that I have tried. I hope it eventually goes away.... Time will tell!!!

When my reflux is bad I will take meds twice a day, morning and evening, close to bed time. Thankfully I have not had to do that in a couple of weeks. My doctor said it should get better as time goes on. Because every patient is different he does not like to give exact time frames.
