Heartburn

I'm 7 weeks post-op today. For the last 3 days, I have been experiencing heartburn. I haven't had heartburn since I was pregnant...about 16 years ago. I take Prevacid (30mg) every morning but by lunch time it starts and continues throughout the day. Any thoughts? 

If you have had a substantial weight loss it could be your gall bladder. My pain & heartburn started at about 8 weeks and I mentioned to my surgeon at my 12 week follow up and sure enough it was that. There are plans to have mine removed in the near future Another thing you could do is look at what you are eating & see if it is triggered by anything in particular or if its a daily occurance. Best of luck

I agree that you should see if it's a specific food trigger.  In either case, contact your centre.  They will be able to tell you what your next step should be.  Wether it be a change in medication, or go for some tests.
