Sleeve to Bypass and Hiatal Hernia Repair due to Gerd- Burning Still Nasty Taste in Mouth

I'm 12 days out of my revision, taking Dexilant. I had a revision from Sleeve to Bypass and Hiatal Hernia Repair.

I don't know if its my body still recovering but I feel a burning tingling sensation in my chest that travels to my by back a couple of times throughout the day. I felt it a couple of times as I slept last night flat on my back.  I don't feel like the burning is coming up my esophagus like before the surgery though.

I don't know if its related to heartburn. But before the surgery I would taste a weird taste on my tongue. The doctor said it was not bile but  acid. After the surgery I taste a weird taste but mostly if I'm around perfumes, and household cleaning products. If I'm at the store and walk down the laundry detergent aisle. Its like I can taste it in my mouth. I don't know if that's from Gerd, or Allergies, Confused.

I informed my dr. he said the surgery went well, and the sensation I'm feeling could be from him stitching me up. He did not talk to much about the taste.

I just want to feel better, I need to.

Has anybody had this type of surgery, bypass and hiatal hernia repair? I know everybody different but how long does it take to heal?

Any advice?

I would love to see the responses. I am having the same surgery. Sleeve to bypass with hernia repair and my sleeve is twisted.... Wishing you well in your recovery

Thanks, are you having any heartburn?

Yep terrible heartburn/reflux... How's your recovery going?

Do you still have your gall bladder? The pain from front to back sounds a bit like it could be from the gall bladder and I know when mine was bad that I'd have funny reaction to smells and tastes.

Yes, I still have my gall bladder. The dr. tested for that and it was fine.

Are you on a PPI?  Pepcid or Prevacid. It does sound like gall bladder. I would speak to you surgeon. 

Hello! I'm considering the sleeve to bypass surgery also! Can you tell me what your BMI was when you had the bypass? I have a consult with my doc who did my sleeve next week, but bc my BMI is 33, it sounded like they may not do it.

I hope you feel better and the rest of your recovery is smooth!

I am having to same revision surgery Sleeve to RNY and hiatal hernia repair in two weeks. Having it because of GERD. I have normal BMI 25. I will not be taking anymore PPIs. Did u take PPIs before revision? Hope u r feeling better.
