I had a minor hiatal hernia that my dr said would heal on it's own. I didn't even know I had it and had no symptoms. Now, I really know I have something going on.

My doc said its fairly common to have a flare of acid reflux for first few months, but it should settle down after that. Lets hope!!

I take the omeprazole 40 mg every morning. I wonder if I could take two per day...

I can't see my sleeve surgeon till Monday but saw another dr re something else and mentioned problem to him and he suggested I try taking Nexium 40mg twice per day, so I am. So far no relief but I'm not sure now if I'm feeling current reflux or the pain of internal acid burns - painful though. Anyway, drs words were "you can take these meds twice a day". Nexium is stronger than omeprazole - I was moved from omeprazole to Nexium to try to control my reflux pre-op (though it was nowhere near as bad as it is right now), but they essentially do the same thing.

I'm 5.5 months out and my reflux has gotten MUCH worse than pre-op in the past few weeks. It had been thought I had a HH pre-op (though not confirmed) but dr said that wasn't the case when he operated. My reflux had only started when I gained weight and it had been thought it would go when I lost the weight,but so far that's not so... Quite the opposite in fact.

I have a question for everyone having bad reflux....did any of you have a hiatal hernia repair during sleeve surgery? I did, but still having a little burn in my throat after eating.

Yes I had a hiatal hernia repaired also, I still have the burn but the 40mg of omeprezole works real good for me. I notice its what I eat also that triggers it sometimes. I also have that pain when i eat anything, I just think that my pouch is small and I eat too fast.

I've just started noticing this pain in the back of my throat after I eat too. At first I hoped it was allergies but last night I got the most awful taste in my mouth by 8 pm and burning in my throat. I took a Zantac (on top of the omeprazole I take in the am) and when I woke up this morning it was better.

This sucks, though, if it doesn't calm down. And bad news for our esophaguses!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
