    Default 3 weeks to op and bit worried about reflux

    Hi all. Missy58 here and this is my very first post.
    I have reflux now and my surgeon said this may become worse after sleeve is done.
    Does anyone get bad reflux after op and if so what do you take for it

    When you have a flare up trying chewing up a couple of papaya enzyme tablets. You can find them right in with the vitamins and they taste pretty good.

    Hi. I got my regular doctor to prescribe me with Nexium. The purple pill works wonders for me. And I don't have to take it everyday. Hope this helps.

    I have been chewing a tums whenever I feel a little acidic. I figure the calcium won't hurt either.

    I've been on Prilosec OTC for years due to terrible reflux. As long as I take my Prilosec everyday it hasn't seemed to be much worse.
