Usually your surgeon gives you acid reducers? Mine gave me a months supply and I then went to my family doctor to get more :) those should help! The surgery produces a lot of acid

I take omniprezole (generic Prilosec) once a day for sure, twice a day if needed. My surgeon said anywhere from 6 mo-1 year stay on it.

I take protonix. It's a cheap script, and works like a charm.

I never had it prior to surgery either but now I have it and its pretty bad. I was taking 2 Previcid 24-hour's every day and still popping antacids but doctor just put me on Nexium 40mg and 1 pill a day does it. Im 11 months out so Im hoping it slows down soon otherwise Ill have to get scoped.

Aloe Vera. I has it really bad. You can buy aloe vera to drink. Works so well. Good for you.

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
