My reflux is 10 x worse then prior to surgery POD#9 for me.....the squeezing in my chest when I try to drink or eat is insane...they called me in some Prevacid still no better today.....all I can do is drink in very little incriments...this SUCKS!

Anyone else have really bad GERD!

Hi. It took me almost a year before mine went away. Coffee on an empty stomach was the culprit for me. Go online and look up some of the most likely causes. Even tea can cause it. It eventually goes away. There are a lot of other things you can take besides Prevacid if that doesn't do the trick. Even with the GERD I'm still happy with my sleeve. Good luck.

Thanks! Had first follow-up today down 14 lbs he gave me Reglan to try this week.....I was Allergic to the Prevacid.....rash all over face and eye swelled up.
