Subject: RE: BS: acid reflux post surgery
yep - put me down as another one of the opinion - I don't think they should have given you Ibuprofen at all until you were several days post op, and not at all if you told them that it upsets your system.

Go see you Doctor Morti. Might need a course of Pariet (better than Zantac/ ranitidine)for a while until things get back to normal.

I'd be asking why they gave it "on the table" too.
usually you get a horrible drink of sodium citrate before surgery to stop you having acid reflux during the op. anything during the op should have been intravenous, and therefore no effect on your stomach.

hope you feel better soon
