I was sleeved 8/29 and everything has been great. Not having much trouble getting my liquids in or anything. The #1 issue is this raging heartburn!! I take pepcid every day but its not helping. I cant sleep tonight because every time I get comfortable it comes raring back. Are tums ok to use until I can call the doc in the AM?

Dr. Aceves told me that Tums cause acid rebound. He recommends Gaviscon.

You need to get on a PPI . Call your doctor and tell him/her about this heartburn and that your medication is not working.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
