Weird Stuff Going On



Recommended Posts

so for the past week i've had this weird stuff going on. i have this constant gurgly feeling in the back/bottom of my throat. also have a mild nausea. almost like mild morning sickness but i am NOT pregnant!!!! lol! having trouble getting in all my fluids because of the nausea and haven't been eating much lately either for the same reasons! occasionally i will get some acid burps after drinking Water. i am a 7weeks and 2days post op and have been on Protonix for the last 3 weeks. i was feeling really really good for the last few weeks and now this is happening! i am assuming it has something to do with too much acid but i can't figure out why the protonix wouldn't be taking care of that!?!? anyone else have these symptoms at any point in time???

Sounds like you might need to try a different med. I use prilosec. Over the counter. Walmart brand.

i figured that is what's up. i tried the prilosec otc and it didn't do much for me! i think i'll just call my doc to see if i can try something else!

If it were something related to the stomach acid regarding the gurgling in your throat...you would likely have heartburn as well. I would get checked out.

It's always best to call the Dr. when symptoms get worse over time instead of better. Let us know what you find out.

I'm on Protonix and started having reflux a week or so ago. Called the doc and he started me taking two a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. That fixed it. I'd call the doc if I were you.

talked to my doctor a few days ago and he suggested i start taking my protonix 2xday. he also gave me a liquid medicine i can take up to 4xday if needed to coat my stomach and make it easier for me to eat. he told me to give it a week or 2 and let him know if it doesn't start to get better. thanks everyone for your suggestions and concern!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
