Had a tummy tuck today, lipo of the flanks and a breast lift w implant. The worst part is the heartburn!! I have taken my prescription heartburn med and nothing. I have taken easily 20 tums and barely any relief. Now I took another heartburn pill and I'm hoping for this to work. Anyone know why? I have only had applesauce, canned peaches and crackers. Should I call the doc?

I have been lucky with not much reflux, but I have never had a big problem with it. There are two reasons for it though. One, your abdomen is VERY tight and it limits how much your stomach can stretch as well as the compression from your garments or binder do the same. The fruit may not help either due to the acidity. Hope this helps.

The funny part is the doc gave me the fruit haha. Guess not too smart. I never thought I would be complaining about heartburn over everything else but everything else is definitely manageable

I had to go back on my omeprazle for a few days. I think it was caused by the super tight compressin garments. It also helped to not lay down, I was very propped up = at first by the hospital bed and then later by pillows.

Congrats on the plastics!

I had my TT yesterday and for the last couple hours I have had bad acid reflux. The nurse gave me something for it and it is almost gone now. funny how we just had our guts and fat taken out but the heartburn is what brothers us!!! I believe my culprit was 2 boxes of Apple juice.

Had my mommy makeover and the heartburn is awful. Wish I would've read this post I would've brought some tums.

Tell them J. The gave me IV med dose and it cured me instantly. Don't suffer needlessly... Plastics are freaking hard enough!!!!
