Question:
Feelings of indigestion/reflux...could this just be gas?
I am 3.5 weeks post lap-rny. About 5 days ago I begin feeling like I had indigestion and reflux. My surgeon ordered an Upper GI but all is normal. Could this pain be caused from gas? I'm taking Gas X and it doesn't seem to help. I'm not able to drink much and cannot tolerate food. — jloney (posted on June 9, 2008)

I have heard about indigestion and I like Maalox plus... works best for me.
It should get better. Reflux isn't normal with RNY I don't think. What
does your surgeon say? I had LapBand so... I'm doing my best here.
Take sips of water slow and easy and try little bites of whatever is on
your list from your nutritionist.
Good Luck,

If you can't drink much and can't tolerate food what are you doing for
nutrietion???? If you are not drinking the amounts you should you can get
gas and also constipated which makes it ever worse....you should be taking
in at least 65 grams of protein a day.....I am asuming you had Lap-band
Surgery...is this correct???? You need to get the liquids in and the
protein....you can get dhydrated very easy if you don't ...also you will
start losing hair if you don't get your protein in....the two things that
help you lose the weight is proper amounts of Protein and lots of
water....hope this helps. Pam / Ft Worth

my doctor gave me a script for Protonix, for acid reflux. It really helped.
