Ok so hopefully I am not the only one ,  I never had heartburn before but I know its common in this type of surgery is it possible to get it just after 7 pm at night?     about 7 pm almost like clock work I get what feels like heartburn I take a few tums and it goes away usually immediately.  I have my 2 month check up next week so hopefully I can address it then but anyone else have this wierd time thing with thier heartburn... devil

Are you taking a PPI? (Prilosec, Zantac, Protonix)

I have taken Prilosec and  Zantac, I have never had these issues before surgery either. When i was 6 weeks out I started to have this issue, it was really bad for 2 weeks and it has gotten better. They had me double up on the prilosec dose for one week. Tums provided immediate relief as well. My surgeon puts everyone on prilosec for 60 days after surgery for a prevenative measure. Hopefully it will get better in time, take care!
