Heart Burn

4 days post op and having chest pains when i drink anything. My dr and the Nurse saying it maybe trap Gas. have anyone else had this problem??? 

could be acid reflux also. are you taking Nexium or omething like it?

Even now at 2 years,if I forget my acid med for a couple of days ,I will have chest pain too. GL

No Holly I'm not on any of that.... really need 2 chk into it. feel like my chest om fire,everytime i drink something.

i would check with my dr. it can't hurt to try something for acid. I would call the on call dr this weekend and get them to call something in for you tomorrow. no use suffering over the weekend.

What ARE you drinking?  Highly unlikely it isacid reflux as you do not have a pylorus and you just had surgery three days ago. While you can get acid reflux with RNY it is rare, and happens after eating a large meal.  You couldn't be on solid food at this point. 

The previous poster had a different surgery. Are you taking tiny sips? At 4 days out you should only be drinking water and protein powder mixed with water (unless your surgeon told you otherwise).  You have a bunch of open sores in your gut.  So, jus****er and protein.  Wishing you a quick recovery.  And TINY sips all day...

Best,

yes chris sticking with the liquids water,crystal lite and protein shakes. and yes tiny sips.but i dont think it was acid reflux more of  u knoe  gas  but thanks alot wishing me a speedy recovery.

It most certainly can be acid, my surgeron prescribed a script which I filled prior to surgery for acid just in case I needed it. I was fortunate not have needed it, but its here in case I do....

Take it easy and hope it gets better soon!

thanks nance, it was gas tho not reflux
