This is the worst!! I've never had heartburn in my life, but it been awful! I have prescription Zantac, but it's keeping me up at night!! Help!!!!

Call your Dr.

Yep, that's what MDs are fior...

Agree with the others call your Dr. the ppi's do not all work the same for everyone, sometimes if one is working they can try one of the others and it will work. Good Luck, enjoy the journey it's not always easy but it gets better as time goes by.

I have an appointment tomorrow, but I might call today anyway just so that maybe they can call me in something different! It's killing me, and maybe that's why I feel sick all the time and can't eat anything without feeling nauseous!

i hardly ever had heartburn until after getting sleeved. That being said, i started taking the PPI again that I was taking before surgery and it's helped some. i may need to ask for a different PPI.

For the record - I *STILL* don't regret having surgery.

Ok, may be a silly question, but is your profile picture really you?

This reflux is the worst! It's keeping me from eating and drinking what should! I feel like if I can get this piece solved I will feel so much better! I was given a script of Zantac, but it doesn't do much! Please tell me this doesn't last forever? I don't think I could take it!!!

You have to find the right ppi. My doc said a lot of her wls patients so best with protonix.

Well I took another Zantac last night around 7 and OMG I slept amazing!! Apparently I need 2 a day! I even feel like I could eat something easier! These are 150mg prescription Zantac! I go to my post op today so I will tell them and see if that's ok. Hopefully it won't kill me and they can change my dosage!

I take a nexium before bed. Also recently started taking 1 tbsp of organic apple cider in a large glass of Water, first thing in the morning with all my meds and supplements. The organic apple cider (has to be organic with the "mother" little floaties in it) helps replenish the good flora and fauna in your gut. It's an old-fashioned remedy but it has definitely helped calm down my reflux issues.

Omg I was about to start this thread today and then saw this! You and I had surgery the same day and past three nights I've had trouble falling asleep due to bad heartburn! Never had it before surgery either. I'm interested to hear what your doc says. I see mine next week

Not a silly question at all and no, it is not me. Call it wishful thinking!

Well I just got back from my post op appt. he said I look great and I'm doing great! He changed my reflux meds and told me that it will go away and it's temporary!! Thank God!!!
