Suggest Treatment For Bloated Stomach Post Laproscopic Bariatric Sleeve
Hello I had a laproscopic bariatric sleeve done 5 weeks ago. While they were in the stomach they found a large hhiatal hernia that did not show up on scans. Im five weeks out , I was last week gradually eating small proteiN but having a difficult time slowing down and not overeating. Now my stomach feels distended, blOated crammpy all day long and I dont even want to drink. I also have acid reflux and IBS. I feel so awful. :(

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.
