How about Heartburn

[Buzzsaw]

Do you still get heartburn after surgery?

[Grace]

I do, but that doesn't mean you will
Seriously though, if you've had GERD for years then chances are it's not going anywhere.
If you mean will you get more than before, really it just depends on the person.

I didn't have heartburn until my surgery, as I was taking my leak test the technicians asked me if I had heartburn and I answered no, their response was "you do now" as they could see the dye bubbling up. My doctor sent me home with a prescription for Prilosec and I have never suffered with it yet.

I had heartburn in the begnning, but now I take a nexium daily and never have any acid reflux, etc. Everybody is different and I know lots of people whose heartburn got better. In general, everything feels better for most people I come into contact with post-surgery. I never regret the decision to have the surgery and life is so much better. Continued success in making the best decision for yourself.

I had my surgery on March 6 of this year and I still have heart burn not as bad as before but a little bit.
