For the past 4-5 I have been having pretty bad acid reflux. I am having sinus drainage and I think they maybe part of the problem. What do you take for your acid reflux? I have taken Prevacid (the ones that melt in your mouth).

Thanks!

hey BeckyinTn,

I had my surgery in October of 08 and my doc found out i had a hiatal hernia in my esophagus which he repair while in there so i wouldnt suffer from acid reflux but from time to time get it from salsa and spicy food i take nexium cuz it is small enough to take even with my 7cc in ,

so just a little FYI good luck

Becky

If you are having reflux, it's a pretty good sign you are too tight. You might need an unfill. You could be inflamed in there and maybe need an unfill for a little bit and then the fill put back in.

Don't let it get worse, ok? Because reflux and aspirating in the night cause serious lung issues.

I didn't heed my own advice and have all kinds of esophagus pain.

Talk to your band doctor, please.....

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
