sounds like acid reflux to me, too. Did they put you on a PPI, like omeprazole or pantoprazale? Some surgeons do that automatically for the first 3-6 months to control acid (since it's not good for healing). If yours didn't, and the burning continues, you might want to ask your clinic about it, or at minimum, let them know what's going on.

Yep, I think reflux too. Check with your team & ask for a script for PPI as @catwoman7 suggested. I’m surprised you aren’t already on them. If you are may need a stronger dose. It takes time for your body to realise you don’t need the same amount of stomach acid as you did before in your smaller tummy & eating smaller meals.

(The acid also can make you think you’re hungry when you really aren’t.)

I agree with all the others that it sounds like reflux.

I had silent reflux for years. The burning feeling would only go away temporarily after I ate something and then it would come back. Omeprazole worked for a few years, then it didn't. Then they kept switching me to find one that worked. Usually H2s or PPIs and/or diet change will take care of it for most people. Unfortunately for me, I was in the minority and my burning throat no longer responded to anything. After a few more years of misery, I finally had the RNY revision because I was told I was putting myself at unnecessary risk of throat cancer if I continued without revision.

Feel better soon.
