SO much acid I can feel it trying to come up. What can I do ?

I hope your doc or surgeon put you on an acid reflux medication. My surgeon requires it for all patients for at least 6 months after surgery.

Until you talk to the doc, take a TUMS.

The dr prescribed Pepcid to me but it did nothing after much thought I started nexium and Pepcid two times a day and it seems to keep it at bay

My surgeon has me on Prilosec and it seems to be working great. Call your doctor and see what they would suggest. You don't want all that acid in your tummy coming up - can easily cause an ulcer.

Good luck & Hope you feel better soon!

I have Prilosec 40 mg and I'm suppose to take it once a day but it seems like at night I get the acid reflux real bad. I ended up taking a tums and slept like a baby

Double your Prilosec and it should calm down.

I've had to start taking a HCL supplement with pepsin. Apparently you can have the same symptoms of acid reflux if you are too low on stomach acid, which sleeve patients typically are. Also taking the PPI can interfere with the absorption of certain nutrients and then you become deficient and don't know why. Here is a great article that may help explain what could be going on. The article is called
