Hi guys! My surgery is getting closer and I feel like I've not had so many answers on things and now my mind is thinking up questions. (yep, starting to get terrified). Anyway, I was wondering, for those of you who had GERD before surgery, did it go away? Right now I take Nexium in the morning and zantac at lunch and dinner. I'm hoping that y'all will say that, yes, it did go away so that it's 3 less pills to crush. Thanks guys! Hope everyone is doing great!

Hi, I have GERD and haven't had to take any meds for it since surgery.  My surgeon actually has you take some type of medication for that for several months after surgery anyway as a precaution.  But I have had no major problems as long as I follow my plan.  Good luck to you.

I never had to take a pill again after surgery. I told my surgeon he must of cut the bad sections out of my stomach.lol

I took a preventive medicine (tums chewable) for six weeks and have never taken anything else...until now.  Being pregnant makes it come back but I know that is only temporary and it has only flared up twice in 6 months!

Dr. Barker just told me on Tuesday to quit taking my nexium because I didn't need it anymore and so far he has been right.
