So the only "side effect" I have had fr my sleeve on 6/24 is what I believed to be constant acid. Am on omeprazole 40 mg twice daily.

My surgeon doesn't think I have acid and it'll resolve itself eventually. Am starting to believe him. Some days it's great no issues. Other omg

My symptoms are not heartburn or typical of acid. I feel burning in my throat so I googled all my symptoms and I came up with this http://www.m.webmd.com/heartburn-gerd/guide/laryngopharyngeal-reflux-silent-reflux

Apparently silent reflux and may be caused by some regurgitation which I do experience if I eat too fast or too much

Looking for advise from anyone, how do you make it better? What I've researched is that a ppi won't help this.

I am going to schedule an appt with my GI this week but some sites state to go see an ent? Very confused. Help!

Take a look at this book -

http://www.amazon.com/Chronic-Cough-Enigma-recognize-neurogenic-ebook/dp/B00HT53JOI/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1411413823&sr=1-1&keywords=chronic+cough

I have had chronic cough problems for a couple decades without resolution so looked into it. This doc sites one of the major problems with the medical world in regards to this problem (which can manifest itself as any or all of symptoms such as cough, post nasal drip, hoarseness, burning in throat, etc.) is that it straddles the fence of several medical specialties (GI, ENT, pulmonary,) so none of them go much beyond their anatomical/geographic limits in finding the source of the problem - the GI guys don't go into the airway, the pulmonary guys don't go into the esophagus or larynx, the ENT guys don't go into the esophagus...

Her normal treatment is usually some combination of dietary changes and medication with claim that most of the cases that she sees are resolved with some long term dietary changes after a stricter introductory diet and one can usually be weaned off of the meds once the chronic irritation is resolved.

I am working her induction diet this month to see if it yields any of the results that she claims can occur from just that step alone before getting into talking to more docs.

If nothing else, it's worth the $10 just to learn a bit more about what is going on with that part of our anatomy that is bothering us.
