Don't forget about reflux!



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 months out and lately have been hungry 24/7 and Water or other cold Fluid would make me nauseated. I experienced this for about a week before realizing I likely had silent reflux. 2 days on Prilosec and I'm back to reminding myself I need to eat and loving my Water bottles.

You don't have to feel burning, taste acid ect. I'm glad I caught it quick!

I'm beginning to wonder...how do you know you are having reflux? Can you tell me what that feels like? I experience, after each time I eat, hiccups, gurgling, and occasionally burping or the reaction of burping. How can you tell if it's just the "sleeve" saying stop putting things in me, to this is reflux? HELP!!!

I felt grumbling in my stomach that made me "feel" like I should eat something almost all the time and wasn't able to drink anything without nausea or discomfort.

I feel good as new, symptoms have 90% gone away and I feel sleeved again!

How far are you out? If I eat just a little too I get hiccups, burping, pain, sneezing, eyes watering ect. Know your limits, it takes time to fine tune.

Too much can be a tiny fork full. That is why you should eat very slow......but this isn't reflux. It's not stuffing yourself ;)

I'm 6 weeks out, still reminding myself to chew, chew, chew...and to eat slow. It is a lot of work reminding myself of all these things!! I appreciate you taking the time to answer, I just didn't want to be getting this reflux that eventually can turn to something bad.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
