Did anyone experience some acid reflux in the first week?

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone experienced any acid reflux after their surgery.  I am 6 days out and had terrible acid burning last night.

I am taking 20 mg of Prilosec/day.

Please let me know.

Thanks.
Geoff

I was on pepcid early out which prevented it - if your dosage isn't working call the Surgeon and aske them to up it. I was taking it I believe twice a day.

Thanks Liz, I will do that today.

ditto to what liz said. Good luck

ditto for me too.  i took it twice a day for the full three months.  some folks need it and some don't.  call your surgeon.  :0)

careful with the tea Dr P told me to dilute it not to drink it full strength and my pcp told me to drink it moderately. He told be to drink boring water or 1% milk. Ick but it was better than the acid reflux.  He even said coffee was better for you than tea?
