Help heartburn

Hi I had horrendous heartburn after surgery it crippled me I was in tears I think the tube they put down you agrivates your inside I cut out coffee fizzy pop and my doctor gave me omozrapol marvellous so go get some!

I was prescribed Omeprazole which aids digestion. I avoid large and fatty meals as they make me feel bloated.

Maybe there's something else going on like a hiatus hernia or ulcer. You could ask GP to refer you to a gastroenterologist.

Oh nooo... I've had mines out almost two weeks. I have been having mild heartburn too. Hmmm, I am going to let my dr know when I have my follow up.

Oh have you been eating foods high in fat or spicy foods; that may be a contributing factor.

I would say just be really careful what you eat and drink.  Stick to a GERD diet and cut out coffee, sodas, and anything overly acidic.  For example, I can't eat anything containing cooked tomatoes, like pizza and pasta sauce, without having bad heartburn/reflux (raw tomatoes are fine).  Eat smaller meals, and don't eat anything at all 2-3 hours before bed.  I was on omeprazole for about a month, but my GI doctor took me off because it was giving me horrible abdominal pains (apparently not terribly uncommon with that particular medication) and told me to take Pepcid as needed instead.  But as long as I avoid those trigger foods, I really don't need the Pepcid.  

Also, make sure you're avoiding fatty, greasy foods.  Cheeseburgers, pizza, fried fish, etc. are things that I will eat on occasion but always pay for it afterwards with diarrhea and painful cramping!  However, I'm 7 years out from having had my gallbladder removed.  I couldn't eat any of those things at all without horrible pain for at least a year after I had mine out, so if I were you I would just avoid them altogether for awhile and then just very small portions if you really feel like you want to treat yourself every so often.
