So for those that had the hiatal hernia repair definitely know what I’m talking about, after surgery when you drank something it would feel like it would get stuck for a second then go down all while being painful. Well I had surgery almost 7 weeks ago and I was doing fine, pretty much no pain at all while eating or drinking but it seems like out of no where I’m starting to have pain again while drinking and eating. I know that I’m not eating/drinking more or taking bigger bites so I’m not sure why the pain would come back. Anybody have a clue?

Are you taking something for reflux? I had the hiatal repair surgery as well as sleeve but I am way behind you at just shy of 3 weeks post op. I don't have the pain anymore but I take Zantac twice a day and did also prior to surgery. Are you on a ppi or anti acid?

Yes I take 40 mg of omeprazole every morning

Actually I am sorry I am just replying. I too started to have some reflux that was worse. I am now on nexium and Zantac. Doc out me on protonix but I am not taking it because the nexium I started otc is working plus protonix doesn't work for me tried it when I had Gerd almost 7-8 years ago. And I don't feel like suffering further with something that doesn't even work. Anyways I am feeling better but I am scheduled for an upper gi with KUB procedure. Doc wants to make sure there is no narrowing area in my sleeve. I hope you feel better. I know how miserable pain from reflux or from sleeve can be. Take care.
