acid

What are you taking? Prevacid  works well. Have you tried Maalox?

You need to let them know that what they prescribed is not working!!!  Please call you centre tomorrow or visit the ER (bariatric hospital) today if it is really bad.  You are only 10 days out of surgery.

definitely call your centre and let them know its not working

 

I was having issues with acid, especially at night. My surgeon advised that I could take Gaviscon as needed in addition to the Prevacid. Acid is pretty common post-op.

Call your surgeon (I called the RN at my centre who was useless) as there may be some options for you to get relief.

Also, try elevated your head at night and sitting upright after eating to let gravity do its job.

I know it's hard at only 10 days out, but I'd try to make sure you're getting at least the minimum water in, and more if at all possible. I have horrible acid reflux, and the only thing that *truly* helps is when I drink a lot of water. 

Aside from that, definitely ask for something else - there's enough going on for you right now without having to worry about acid! :(
