Acid Reflux vs Heartburn ??

[Aran1030 26]

4 weeks post op . I had a hiatal hernia I was not aware of at the time of my surgery and my surgeon fixed it while I was getting my sleeve. Well, I have no idea what happened but since my surgery I get acid reflux / heartburn (I don’t know which it is ) everyday at some point in the day. Not sure what causes it. I have a Doctor appointment Monday. But first how do I know which it is or is it both ? And most importantly..... is it going to go away. I’m so sad and discouraged ! I don’t look forward to such an uncomfortable feeling. HELP ! Anyone else had this ?

How’s your heartburn now?

I've learned to keep mints by my bedside because sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night choking on my stomach acid. I take Pantoprazol, which is prescribed.

Watch what you eat. Sweet Tea gives me heart burn. ketchup causes me to have acid reflux.

Tomato and chocolate cause heartburn . I had acid reflux ( which causes the heartburn) before the surgery and also had a hiatal hernia repaired . I take Prevacid and gas x first thing in the am . That covers me for the the day . Not sure the acid reflux will actually go away with the hernia repair , but I will be pleased if it does

They say you shouldn’t lay down for about 2 hours after eating. I believe that rule applies for ppl that didn’t have WLS
