Holy crap, every time I each I get the worst case of acid reflux. Is this happening to other newbies ? Vets.., what can I do?? I just want up hurl!! Help

Are you on a proton pump inhibitor? (Prevacid, Prilosec, etc) if not, call the doctor & ask him to prescribe one. If you are- call and inform them it isn't working, they may need to up your dose or change the medication to one that is effective for you. I'm pretty new ( a little over two weeks out) I take Prevacid 30mg/daily and I don't have any problems. Hope this helps!

No I'm not. My follow up is on the 21dt but maybe I'll call Monday to see if I can get something. Is it a pill or chewable ? Thanks for the info!!

I'm 7 weeks out and I have horrible acid reflux in the mornings. I started taking Prilosec before going to bed and that eased it up but I still have them.

Interesting ... Mine only comes after eating. Maybe my hernia??

Prilosec takes time to start working and he more it build up in your system the better.

Acid can happen at many different times for different people. Could it be what you are eating causing it? I can't eat certain things but it is nothing new after VSG for me those foods bothered me before too. I have acid issues more when I need to eat. When I have gone too long because I am not hungry and have forgotten to eat something. I am also a year out.

I was told I'd be on an acid reducer/PPI for 6 months after surgery just to make sure all was well.

Prevacid comes in a dissolvable tabs, I know for sure. Not sure about the others. But yes, I would definitely call - no sense in suffering! I hear it also curbs appetite too. hope you get to feeling better!

I tried many that didn't work for me. the only one that helps is a once daily dexilant capsule. It's a magic pill!!

That's so good to hear, that's what my doc has me on. It's a shame there is no generic though. How Lon did it take to build up well and start working at its best?

when i had my first sleeve i didnt have any acid issues. when i got resleeved last august i got acid issues and i was taking my 20mg ppi every morning before eating anything. now i stopped taking ppi cause of what i read about the long term side side effects. ive been without my ppi for about a month now, its tolerable and i think my body is adjusting slowly and fighting the acid reflux on its own.

Everything that's on my cleared list I get acid from!! This sucks
