Does the reflux ever get better?

I am 2 weeks post op with gnarly acid reflux.  I am on Zantac and Dr just added a PPI today. Do ou think this is a long term side effect?

Too early to tell for you, but I think most surgeons prescribe something for the first six weeks. Lots of folks only need it in thearly phase, but lots more need one ongoing.  I had reflux before, so no surprise that I cannot manage without it.  However, there are plenty of folks who didn't have reflux before but have it after surgery.  

It goes away completely for some...some it doesn't....it gets better for most. 

In almost 5 months it has not gotten any better for me. If I don't take my meds. for it everyday I feel like I am about to kill over.

Good morning, I just read your brief post on acid reflux.  I had my VSG surgery on Nov 26.13, I have been on PPI's since week 4.  First it was nexium (once a day) and then I was switched to protonix (twice a day).  I am just past the five month mark and I still have ongoing issues with the reflux and foam, having to spit up or throw up a small bit on most days.  My question, has your acid reflux improved at all?  Are you still on PPI's? a thanks in advance for your reply.
