Reflux - Is it still with you?

I had reflux pre surgery and my surgeon prescribed Nexium for post surgery---he gives everyone some type of stomach "calmer", and for reflux patients it's Nexium. Haven't had an episode post op yet.

No. I stopped drinking all soda and carbonated beverages a few years before WLS--primarily due to the headaches that contributed to, but the side benefit was a huge decrease in GERD. Then when I was losing the required pre-op weight I eliminated all refined sugars, most pre-packaged/processed foods, and all snack foods and it got better yet. Since the day I had surgery, 31 months ago, I have not had a single occurence of GERD or even simple indigestion or heart burn. I think all of this played into it, but of course, I can't be positive and I don't know if that will always be the case. Ann
