I am not sure what to do about this heartburn anymore have tried most of the stuff walmart has over the counter.

This pain is crazy

I get it pretty bad, but the Prilosec helps if I take it every day. Maybe ask your surgeon to prescribe you some prescription strength Nexium?

I will ask. I have an EDG scheduled in 10 days to see what's going

I had the same problem the first few weeks after surgery. My doctor said that it's because your stomach is smaller and the pressures are higher. He prescribed some dissolvable nexium and it worked like a charm. It has seemed to resolve itself, luckily. I still get occational bouts of heartburn, but it's not constant like it used to be. Talk to your doctor and see what he/she recommends. Good luck!
