Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 I am 10 days out of surgery and I have two questions. Has anyone had bad acid reflux after surgery? I never had it before and my doc gave me pepcid but last night is the first night I have been able to sleep. If you have had it what are your remedies? Also, what is a hernia like? Eight days after surgery it was soooo nice outside and I decided to kneel in my flower garden, weed and put some plants in. I over-did-it. Now right next to my incision is a sore spot. Any responses are appreciated. Carol R in PA 291/ /150 4/23/01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 having the surgery should have taken care of your reflux.. I am very confused. I was told that you couldn't get reflux anymore afterwards because the pouch couldn't make enough acid to back up, and the stomach itself had no way to back up to your throat. I haven't had any problems with it since the surgery, whereas before I had it constantly. The strangest things would give me problems. Please keep me informed on this, I am very confused now post op questions I am 10 days out of surgery and I have two questions. Has anyone had bad acid reflux after surgery?

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 My doc said the acid reflux should go away in about a month. I believe the acid is made in the old stomach, dumping in the intestine and coming up through the pouch into my throat. I do not know if the lump near my incision is related. I go to the doc on Wed.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 I had reflux a couple times after surgery also. When I went back to my doctor for my 2 week post op visit, he said it was normal and in about a month it would go away. Sure enough, it did. I haven't had it since.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 I agree, . I was told that if there was reflux after surgery than that meant possibly that the opening between pouch and intestine needed to be opened up a bit more. Hopefully, her doc will get it straightened out on Wed. Jeanne in WI Age 38 Open RNY 05/21/2002 314/ /150-175 5' 8 " djgraves@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
