As far as mixing the ppi and gaviscon....it didn't work for me, but that doesn't mean it won't for you. As your dr about it. I was taking carafate, priolosec, and gaviscon and no relief for me. They did a scope and said everything looked ok though so that's good. Changed me to protonix in the morning and two priolosec at night. They said it should go away after about 6 months....it really is awful, but my weight loss is going well, so if this is the worst that happens, I'll be ok.

I'll follow up with my doctor if it continues today. So far, I'm ok. It might have been the homemade marinara I made yesterday with turkey. It was probably too acidic. I can't imagine living with that pain daily...I feel for you and hope it goes away soon!

I had heartburn/gerd prior to my surgery. After surgery, my heartburn more than doubled. I was taking 40mg Prilosec twice a day. I am now taking 60mg of dexilant twice a day. It helps, but the heartburn at times is just there. I went back in for an endoscopy and learned I still have a hiatal hernia. My surgeon recommended fixing it again (had one repaired @ time of sleeve). After consulting with my primary dr and seeing a specialist he recommended, I'm going to continue with the dexilant, adjust my diet and try a wedge pillow. Good luck!

Oh no! Sorry to hear you have another hernia. That stinks. Hope the medicine can help. I didn't have hernia repair but I hear it's quite painful. Good luck to you!

I found if I drink purified Water it seems to aggravate it but if I do not take nexium and Prilosec it's bad .. If I take the two and drink purified water I start to get a lite heartburn feeling .. Dr seems to think it should go away when I start having normal bm I don't know it will hope it does just had surgery may 30

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
