I had this operation about a year ago. The same heartburn is no coming back. I take many vitamin pills and an lookin for a anti acid pill to correct this condition.

Hi,
The symptoms are due to severe acid reflux.
As of now, you can take antacids like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
Avoid hot and spicy foods and try to sleep with your head end slightly elevated.
If symptoms persist you can try Misoprostol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
