Acid reflux is seriously a pain!!



Recommended Posts

I literally just had acid reflux for the last two days I’m drinking almond milk because it says online that is very good for it. What do you guys do as a home remedy for It?

Do you have any omneprazole? I just got revised from sleeve to bypass because of hiatal hernia and gerd. The omneprazole kept the acid under control quite well. Sadly they are finding out more and more that the ppis are not safe to take long term.

You really should call your surgeon before you get too much damage from the acid.

Get the prescibed medication from your doctor - I have a post of the ones i use and they work great

Also a big mistake i was doing was drinking Water then laying down, It would flush back up with acid - Hurts like hell

Are we allowed baking soda? A teaspoon in warm Water is what I used to chug down for heartburn pre-op, you'll belch like crazy but it'll be gone in 10 mins.

a lot of us are/were put on a PPI (like omeprazole) for the first few months after surgery. I'm a little surprised you weren't. I'd run it by my surgeon - he/she may prescribe something for it. Acid reflux can cause damage if it's left untreated.

I used to have acid reflux and GERD, but a few months post-op sleeve, they went away and have been gone for nearly a year now.

My doctor did for the first 30 days Give me omeprazole and it was working fine. I went to call him about it but no call back yet. I think it was I had Pasta Sauce with my meat balls and it just didn’t go well

if it was a tomato-based Pasta Sauce, that could be it. Tomatoes have a lot of acid.

Yes it was a japanese recipe that has a bit of soy sauce and ketchup that most definitely messed me up

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
