Is been now 3 months post-op from sleeve to bypass and for the past week i been dealing with bad GERD.. feel like my throat is on fire and i have discomfort on the area just below my throat. Also when i swallow it feels like something is stuck. Dont know if this is just a temporary thing happening or something really of much concern. Contacted my surgeon but he is away for a week and will return the following week. I know bypass is supposed to make GERD much better to deal with but i am just concerned and frustrated with this uncomfortable feeling.. any help would be appreciated!!!

Is there anyone else in the office that can help? I was prescribed omeprazole after surgery to reduce stomach acid. What about you?

I left a message with the nurse manager.all of the physicians are out for the entire week. Have to wait for them to return. I was not prescribed omeprazole after surgery. Just feel little concerned about this and hope it is not an underlying problem.

My surgeon keeps all patients on omeprazole for a minimum of the first 30 days post op. You can purchase it over the counter and it's not harmful to take post op so I would hit the pharmacy and start taking 20mg a day while you're waiting for the doc to get back. If it gets better you have an indication of what your problem might have been. Regradless it needs to be discussed with your physician.

My doctor requires 6 months of daily prescription of Nexium after bypass surgery but supposedly people no longer suffer from gerd after that. I'm only 6 weeks out but I take it daily.

I was on some medication post op for 3 months not sure what it was for but i think it was probably to help prevent Gerd and help balance stomach acids. Maybe see if there is a medication u can be on to help prevent this issue and help healing. I've never had Gerd in 2 years post op and I had it constantly pre op

I have been on Pariet which is rabeprazole since surgery and have to take it for 3 months. The two things that have made my stomach feel bad have been other underlying issues like constipation and then kidney stones which I've just had out. Once those things were resolved I haven't had any issues.
