I had RNY last May and I have recently began having a severe burning in my pouch and the intestines that it connects with. It's like stomach acid is boiling in there. Has anyone else experienced this??

I'd schedule an EGD asap

Hmmm! Acid Reflux should be resolved by having RNY, not make it worse. Are you eating really spicy foods? Are you taking Omeprezole/Prilosec? I definitely would consult with your surgeon. Hope it goes away and there aren't any real issues! Good Luck!

Could also be an ulcer, I would get it checked out.

I get it from time to time...I have to watch spicy foods...and because I am eating very little carbs I have to be mindful to keep myself alkaline.

smoothies or Protein Shakes with coconut or almond milk helps

Please get this checked out! I had pains for about a month as you described and did nothing until I woke up one night in the worst pain of my life. Turns out I had a perforated ulcer. I had surgery and was in the hospital for a week. I almost and could have died. I will also note that I did everything by the book after my RNY. No caffeine no nsaids etc. I was by no means at high risk for an ulcer. It could have been prevented if I acted on my instincts about the burning pain, I wouldn't want what happened to me to happen to anyone.

It is strange but I get that burning sensation when I have an empty stomach and I drink Water. I have no clue why that is but mine only happens with water. I am 9.5 years out of rny and have had that problem since 2yr post op. I had it looked at and no problems leaks or ulcer. It was simply a change of ph in my intestines.

I am 13 years out from my GB and lately on an empty stomach with nothing but Water my stomach is on fire. It feels like heartburn but since I've never had heartburn I'm not really sure. it usually will subside by the middle of the day, but in the AM when I get to work is when it starts. Maybe I should start eating before work?

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
