Ok... I have never really experienced "reflux"... I'm 1 day post op and occasionally when I burp a little "bile" comes up... Is that normal!?

Yes, and it is most likely reflux. If your dr didn't advise you to take a PPO(Prilosec, Nexium) you should probably ask them about it. I personally had to take Prilosec for the first 3 months till my stomach acids had adjusted and settled appropriately. Prilosec is available over the counter and is not very expensive, but you still should ask your dr. since there opinions on things can vary. Good Luck.

Thank you. I picked up some chewable acid reducer and I'm hoping my calcium will help. I notice its worse when I first wake up and haven't drank in a while.

Yes. I also took a ppi post op for 3 months as well. Ask your doctor to prescribe something. If you have insurance it will help with the cost, those things can get pricey depending on how much you need to use
