Everything I swallow, water, pills, food… I hardly eat because it’s so uncomfortable. I have never had a problem with heart burn ever in my life. I take Prilosec but the pain still happens.

Reflux happens to many people after the sleeve. I get it if I eat too quickly or if I wait too long between times eating. Call your surgeon. There are stronger medications you can take. Some people do have a revision to gastric bypass to resolve it but usually only after medication can’t resolve it.

RNY Gastric Bypass is usually the best surgical technique for people who have heartburn or GERD. It usually eliminates those issues and type II diabetes.

Are you drinking or eating too quickly? Try slowing down to sips or tiny bites well chewed.

No I chew every bite really well, and at this point, one bite is all I eat because it’s so uncomfortable. I’m taking Prilosec because it feels like heart burn but the Prilosec does nothing. And after some time, that one bite of food settles and the sensation stops until my next bit of food or water.
