Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, acid reflux may be due to surgery as it may cause indigestion. As you already done endoscopy and everything is normal, so nothing to worry. Take light and frequent meals, Avoid heavy food. You can take tab. Pantoprazole after consultation. Take care.
