Do I have a freaking ulcer or what?!

I was treated for H. pylori before surgery with 3 different antibiotics. Now, 11 weeks out for almost two weeks now I've had KRAZYYYYYYYYY acid reflux symptoms (burping all the time, stomach gurgling/bubbling Loudly, food is uncomfortable as ever, burning feeling in my gut and stuck feeling in my chest/throat). Unlike that normal I had WLS 11 weeks ago feeling. I spoke to my doctor and now instead of once a day, he has me on omeprazole (Prilosec) twice a day. I started that today, so we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I'm miserable. Someone told me that papaya also helps reduce the acid.

Oh, Sandee, I feel your pain.

I woke up choking on my own bile. Went up my nose, inhaled it - the whole nine yards.

It is grossly unpleasant.

What I found useful was limiting caffeine, not eating three hours before bed. Propping myself up at night. Nothing acidic, nothing too rich...

Just keeping it really plain and boring.

Honey and Cider Vinegar can help. Just a bit mixed into Water and chugged. Not drinking plain water - strangely.

Here's hoping your twice a day tablets can help keep it at bay. Keep us posted and hope you feel better soon x
