I am 108 days out from Sleeve surgery in Mexico with Dr. Almanza, and I am very concerned about the amount and frequency of my stomach acid. It seems I have a terrific amount of acid no matter what I eat, even on pure water. And, eating or drinking anything gives me really bad gas in my stomach. I can actually hear the belches rumbling around and forming in my stomach, and I can feel the air coming up, but then it just STOPS somewhere. It doesn't actually come out my mouth and it is trapped in my esophogus or stomach. Very uncomfortable. I am concerned that I am going to develop ulcers in what is left of my stomach, or my esophogus if I can't get this acid under control. I did see a Gastroenterologist about 6 weeks ago, he ordered liquid Zantac for me, twice a day. It helps, for about 1/2 hour and the acid is right back. He also said to take GasX before every meal, which I do, but it doesn't help very much. I am reluctant to take the proton pump inhibitors, like Prevacid, because of the osteoporosis they cause. I am an older female and don't need a broken hip. I have to sleep almost sitting up to keep the acid from rising to my mouth. I thought this situation would improve with time, but it is actually getting worse as time goes on. Does anyone else have this problem? Have you found a cure? I am so miserable and it almost, ALMOST makes me regret the sleeve. I can't imagine living like this forever, but the 40 pound weight loss is sure nice. I have at least that much more to go. I eat several times a day, probably not the best stuff but decent food. I get my protein in, but my suppliments actually cause me to vomit. I do vomit frequently. Any suggestions?
