I have today reached my 5 month anniversary and have found as the months go by my reflux gets better, as per my doctor i am no longer on reflux meds, i have the odd bout of heartburn and the feeling like something is stuck in my throat - can anybody tell me if they had bad reflux after surgery but it has eased off as the months go by? Never suffered this prior.......

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
