Heart burn after plastics



Recommended Posts

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.

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.< /p>

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
