Question:
Okay, another question about reflux, why is it back?

I have also been really lightheaded lately. I am 10 months out, doing great, no problems. While the reflux came back about a week ago, its not as bad as before, but it kept me from sleeping last night. Also, when I turn over in bed, the whole room spins and yesterday I did experience some extreme dizziness. What is the deal? I have not had any bloodwork done since my six month checkup. All was okay. Is this something that I will be able to fix though diet or supplements? I called my doctor today and hopefully hear from them tomorrow. Just thought maybe you guys could offer some advice. Thanks so much!    — rmsh78 (posted on August 18, 2003)

As for the reflux, well I can't say I still have peek times too. Check with your doctor on the dizziness. Are you taking your vitamins regularly? I needed to start with B-12 Complex shots because I wasn't getting enough taking them orally. That seemed to stop my lightheadedness. Well good luck. Don't forget to check with your doctor if it persist

I would check with your doc, but it sounds like the dizzy part could be from dehydration, acid reflux I have no idea, I am not sure which proceedure you had done, people with RNY's say their's stay gone because the pouch doesn't make all that acid, again I would ask your doc.

I have acid reflux really bad. It came back at 10 months post op for me. Before I controlled it simply because I couldn't sleep in the bed and was sleeping in a recliner. Then when I got back in to the bed it came back with avengence. Even with medication it is out of control but in all my episodes it has never been companied by dizziness. You need to call your PCP as soon as possible and be sure to tell me all symptems you are experiencing.
