Heart burn post op



Recommended Posts

The last couple of days my throats been burning and when I drink either my Water or shake, I have lots of gurgly noises from stomach to my throat. I'm 14 days post op. Not sure what to make of this. I will call my Dr. tomorrow but has anyone else had this? I did take a Pepcid before and it seemed to help.

I don't know if this is the reason or not, but did the surgeon prescribe a medication to minimize the stomach acid, i.e., Protonix? Best to call though.

I have been taking Omeprozole since surgery (12/23/2013) with no problem with reflux. I did have a sore throat for a couple of weeks. My tummy still gurgles quite randomly. Sometimes it is quite and sometimes it sounds like a fierce dinosaur fight. Not even sick to my stomach either way.

I take Omeprazole daily since surgery too, prescribed by my dr since the day of surgery. I think this is standard for all sleeve patients. If you cannot get an answer from your doc's office fast you might want to buy something over the counter and try it.

As far as the noisy stomach, mine is just randomly gurgly every day and I'm 4 months out.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
