Preggo RNY'ers...

I was lucky enough to not have hardly any of the typical prego symptoms such as heartburn and morning sickness.  I was beginning to wonder if I was prego!!  lol  I didn't even get the baby bump  I just looked fat around the last month I was prego. The only thing that really affected me was insomnia and that was almost from the day I got pregnant!!  Hope things get better for you!!!

I had heartburn and reflux all the time!! I had never had that before my first baby. I thought I was dying it hurt soooo bad. I called my mom bawling and she said take tums and walk. I was like r u seriously I'm dying help. Well it worked so I to lived off tums. I took them like candy. After I had the baby's I was fine. I only get it when I eat spicy spicy foods.

I got it bad when I was pregnant and then it got even worse after I gave birth.  I was like you, had it for years and lived on meds.  Supposedly my surgeon "fixed" what was causing it during my RNY??

I had it so bad one night I thought I was having a heart attack.  It's a horrible feeling.  I now try to eat at least 3 hours before going to bed and I also don't take my vitamins close to bed time cause they sometimes cause it (I think) 

With this pregnancy, I have it pretty bad too and tums just don't cut it.  My OB said I could take pepcid and that has helped. 

Hope it gets better for you.  

PS. Glad you are feeling better in the MS department  
I am waiting for mine to go away  it's bad.....
 

I'm 18W5D AND IVE HAD IT ALREADY IT STINKS BUT IM STURBORN AND JUST DRINK CAFFENE FREE DIET COKE AND IT GOES AWAY WEIRD I KNOW BUT HELPS ME WITH THAT AND NAUTEAS

i know! i started drinking caffein free diet pepsi again during my 1st tri w/the all the nausea and it helps.

I never had heartburn/acide/gerd you name it BEFORE RNY.  After RNY, I became prone to ulcers and literally have to take a proton pump inhibitor daily since RNY in 2005 or bam, ulcers.  That continues in pregnancy.  I don't feel any heartburn or acid, because I simply cannot allow it or be in severe pain. 

My MFM and RE both claim prevacid 24 hr over the counter is the safest of them all, as a very mild category b.  Have been on it since getting pregnant and no problems.
