I posted on my ordeal with acid reflex med after having my gastric bypass surgery. I went today for my 1wk check up and was asking my PA what the reasoning was for the acid reflex medicine after the surgery given I had no issues with it prior to surgery. In short she said that it was to coat my stomach to help keep me from forming stomach ulcers and a hiatial (sp?) hernia. So they have switched my acid reflex med and I pick up the new one tomorrow. Praying that I don't have a issue with it!
