My surgery was 07/05/2016 and after that date I have been having a burning sensation in my throat. I did some research and found that, it is GERD and after awhile of having it, it could turn into CANCER. So, I contacted my surgeons office right away. They said that they will have the doctor to call me back. My question to you is, Is this true? and what information can you give me on this subject. I thought it was something minor and would later go away on its own. Can you enlighten me on any information that you can add?

burning sensation in throat

@@PRINCESS2218

doc sent me home with script for prilosec

does the trick keeping gerd away for ME

is your gerd/heartburn frequent?

a PPI will hopefully help/calm down the situation

the sleeve is "technically" one of the newer WLS

yearsssss back it was used to help stomach cancer

doctors were realizing that people would lose weight PO

eventually it was then made/used as a procedure for weight loss :)

i never heard that heartburn/gerd could be a cause of cancer

doc is the man in the know!!!

hope your doc is good about returning phone calls, and can

put your mind at ease

good luck

Yes, I have heard (from gastroenterologist) that prolonged GERD can lead to cancer. But it is easy to treat- and very unlikely to cause cancer in a few weeks or months. That is usually years of untreated GERD that could cause it.

You would have to have the Gerd for a long while before it caused cancer. And the cancer your talking about is Garrett's disease or cancer. It's usually found in the esophagus. It's caused by erosion from the stomach acid. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Make sure your taking Omeprazole or something similar. Your doctor will prescribe it most likely.

Long term, untreated GERD can lead to Barrett's Esophagitis. Easy fix with meds.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
