I'm about ten days past op and experiencing major reflux symptoms. Whenever I try to eat (I'm on puréed) or drink anything I'm in pain afterwards. It's to the point where I'm just throwing up any food I try to eat now. My doc didn't prescribe anything for reflux and he is out of town until 6/9 so they are little to no help. Any suggestions?

My daughter has this issue as well. Like you it is pretty serious and eating proves to be a miserable experiance. After trial and error the best action for her is to take nexium first thing when she wakes up. She eats 1/2 hr after Nexium. Only needs to take one dose each day. This seems to be working but certainly she is hoping this won't be forever. .

• My surgeon sent me home on nexium. He told me I have to take it every day for the first two months. Its a proton pump inhibitor which makes your body produce less stomach acids.

I take 2 Prilosec a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. I was told to take them for 3 months. You can get the OTC ones... I think the generic Omeprazole is the same thing.

For me it got progressively better after the 3rd month and a daily intake of omeprazole
