Hey All,

I am 9 weeks post-op today and down about 45 pounds. I’m feeling great, more energy, more confidence and perfect Bloodwork already. My only problem is acid reflux. Since week one, Ive had gurgling and throat noises every time I eat, my doctor said it was reflux and put me on Nexium. I think now it’s getting worse, I gurgle and feel the reflux even when I’m drinking water. I do drink coffee in the morning and wondering if that could be making it worse. Anyone else have this experience? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I'm three plus years post surgery & still my longest lasting complication is acid. Here's how I manage it: I take an Omeprazole in the morning & a Tums just before bed. Together that allows me to produce less acid & combat the acid my body does produce. Proactive & reactive, if you will. Good luck. You are not alone.

I’m 2 weeks post op and I was producing so much extra acid I was constantly vomiting it up. My doctor put me on protonix in the morning, nexium at night and carafate 4 times a day. No more extra acid!

I would watch some of those types of meds and mess with your kidneys if on them long term. Like the omeprazole. I would just talk to my doctor about those and watch my creatine and gfr through lab work.

Sorry that was suppose to say those types of meds can mess with tour kidneys.
