Acid Reflux anyone?

I just had my surgery on Monday and recovery has been good so far...until tonight. 

I had acid reflux before surgery and took 40 mg of prilosec every day.  However, my surgeon told me I would not need it anymore after the surgery.

As I was going to bed tonight, I felt the familiar and uncomfortable rumblings of acid reflux in my stomach.  It feels a little different, but I know what it is.

Is this normal for 3 days post-op and will it go away? 

What can I do to relieve symptoms right now?

I haven't had acid reflux but wanted to welcome you to the losers bench. I hope your symptoms are relieved soon.

I have reflux.  I take 40 mg of Nexium a day and have been doing this for many years.  I know they say after losing weight, you may be able to stop the meds but I am not sure how soon after it will take.  I was told the same thing after I got my gall out.  I guess it depends on the person. I would check with your surgeon and ask them.  You may need to take it a little while longer.
