Mild Heartburn After Gastric Bypass

[CLong1954]

I just had gastric bypass surgery last Tuesday so I am on a clear liquid diet. Right now I am experiencing some mild heartburn. It seems clear I should not take any Tums or anything similar. Is there any other remedies?

Ask the surgeon. My doctor but me on some type of acid reducer for the first 30 days and I have not had any heartburn issues.
I am 6 weeks out today.

My surgeon prescribed pantoprazole. It helps a lot. I have mild heart burn on days I forget to take it, but not when I'm using this medication. Three weeks post op here.
