I'm 6 months post op. I have to take 2 prilosec every morning. Even throughout the day I can hear my tummy rumble. I make a gurgling sound when I drink. I went to the doc and he gave me Reglan, but it's side affects are not somthing I can function normally with. Has anyone encountered this same problem?

Me!!!! My gastroenterologist put me on protonix and the difference is like night and day . I take 40 mg 2 times a day.

I too am having some really bad acid reflux. I am taking prescription prevacid in the morning and then Pepcid at night. My stomach is always gurgling. My next appointment with my surgeon is 7/30. I am hoping they give me something better!

I am pre-op and take two Prilosec a day

My heart burn is horrible too im 6 months post op too I take zantac 150 when I get it. Usually after I eat. Sucks I hate it. I had heart burn pre and was hoping after loosing 98 pounds it would go away it goes all the way up my neck to my mouth almost.

As someone who has had heartburn for years, try Protonix. Works really well! If you are having heartburn that is regular and even up in your neck, that needs to be handled sooner then later. The damage can be severe and you don't want that. Good luck!

Totally agree.... I've tried everything out there having Gerd for years prior to my sleeve. Protonix has been my saving grace
