How Can Burning Sensations In The Oesophagus Be Treated Post Bypass Operation?
Question: hello. I am a male 50 years age.I tried to decrease my weigh by a sleeve operation and the result was very good. this was 3 years ago, however i got reflux syndrome in the esophagus . i tried all the possible non surgeryl medications but without any success.
last week i did a bypass operation to avoid the reflux but since then i do not suffer the acids in the esophagus but still sense the old burning. is it a matter of time to feel the relief of the burnings or i will be stuck forever. thanks

Brief Answer:
Please give the procedure sometime.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It's too early to comment whether the surgery would work or not as it's only been 1 week since the procedure was performed.
PPIs like Esomeprazole/Lansoprazole should be continued for at least a month even after the surgery to relieve the symptoms of dyspepsia that you mentioned.
Adding a gastrokinetic agent like Itopride should also help. It would be better to give the procedure sometime (w.r.t the reflux symptoms and burning sensation).
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
