I find it almost impossible to eat because of the pain that immediatley follows. Even water seems to want to come back up. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. I don't know if this is to be expected and I need to learn to live with it; or if I should be pushing my doc more for intervention. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am 4 months out and thought the surgery had cured my GERD but apparently it hasn't. I started having problems with GERD at about 2 1/2 months post-op. The difference pre-op and post-op is my heartburn now flares up if I eat carbs. Saltine crackers really set me off.
I take Nexium for my GERD. One Nexium is enough to stop the GERD for a few days.
Talk with your Doctor and insist on intervention.

Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me."
