Suggest Treatment For Bloated Stomach Post Laproscopic Bariatric Sleeve
Hello, It is quite common after bariatric procedure. It is due to acid reflux and secondary gastritis. As a first line management, you can take antacids like pantoprazole or omeprazole for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
