Question:
6.5 weeks post-op RNY; I get frequent indigestion,

I am doing pretty good, but I get what feels like indigestion, not nausea or dumping because I have had that and it is a very different feeling than that. It is after a meal and seems to sits in my pouch for a couple of hours. However, I have just discovered that sipping a little bit of club soda mixed with 100% fruit juice (3-4oz sipped slowly) seemes to make it go away rather quickly and then I feel fine. Anyone experience anything like this. I know they say not to drink carbonated beverages for a while, but this seems to be the only thing that settles my stomach.    — Dell H.

hello,, i had an open r,n,y, in november, and i have heart burn often, it isn't from what i eat, i get it when i drink my daily water,i don't know if that water mixes up stomach acids or what, but i keep some chewable tums or rolaids handy, one or two of these takes it away fast, my surgeon gave me a perscription for liquid zantac,, but i swear the tums or rolaids does the trick better,,good luck
