I am two weeks post op and am experiencing a severe case of Heartburn...Thus far I have tried Tums, Prilosec and baking soda w/water with very minimal relief... Any ideas would be much appreciated

Thanks

Not sleeved yet, but heard some people must take a PPI for several months after surgery, sometimes longer. Maybe call your doc? Don't let it go on for too long, you'll be setting yourself up for ulcers

I'm pre-op but I have pretty bad reflux now. I take Protonix and it is awesome. You feel the difference within days of taking it (not weeks like others). There is a generic for it now so it's less expensive than Nexium, etc. I'm worried that my reflux will get worse after VSG, but I'll keep taking my meds and hope for the best.
