6mths po w lots of acid reflux



Recommended Posts

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?

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!

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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
