I am in Georgia......if I can do anything to help just let me know. Trust me in that you have found someone who knows exactly how you feel. Keep me posted on how it's going.........good luck!

Hi Lisa F... I've just learned the term esophageal spasms - because I got a fill on Tuesday and I think I'm a bit over filled (I was looking forward to the doc being aggressive and I think I'm learning a hard lesson) I have this horrible pain in the back of my throat that hasn't let up in about 48 hours and it's been progressively worse although I have been able to drink a Protein drink so I don't think I'm in trouble with dehydration just yet... I'm going to my doc's on Monday but it sure is comforting to see something that describes these awful symptoms that I'm experiencing. I almost now feel like my throat is bruised.

Glad you are ok. Yes, I was told at list 30 minutes before bed - it's probably a health habit to get into anyway

Yes, I was told about this at my nutrition class before surgery. It was stressed for me because I have severe gastric reflux. I also take protonics every day.

anyone having any kind of spasms should consider 600 mg of magnesium a day, with extra B6. it is safe to take with medicines and will not interact with anything and may totally clear up your spasms. i recommend a good chelated brand like county life in divided doses.

I do take 500 MG of magnesium and a B complex. I have to say it does help alot! Just doesn't get rid of it for me. I have very bad bile reflux. I keep saying no RNY but I don't know what the future holds for me. It keeps getting worse everyday.

I had my surgery on Dec 12th 2013 , and about 6 weeks post Op I started having horrendous acid reflux and pain. This started mainly at night ( however , not due to eating too late as we have dinner at 5pm ) . It then became a problem during the day too , with just about anything I ate and drank! So, visited my Doctor and he prescribed Omeprazole , which I take twice a day. They,re brilliant and totally eradicated the problem. Acid problems can be a side-effect of having Gastric Sleeve surgery. Take care.. x

I take two prilosec a day as well. Unfortunately, I still have spasms.

My husband is a pharmacist. He said they use the GI Cocktail in the hospital ER often. It can be made from different ingredients, so if the first "cocktail" doesn't work they can always change it up until they find something that works.

I called my doctor and he won't prescribe it because of the lidocaine. Any other suggestions without it?
