Had sleeve surgery over 2 years ago. Went to ER thinking pain was heart related. All tests came back ok. Leaving there they put me on 40mgs a day of Nexium. At first it did help, but here months later it's worse than ever. The Meds aren't helping, I take Rolaids, gas-x. I've taken Norco for the pain thinking it was muscle, that did nothing for the pain. I truly believe it's gas. I walk, I drink warm liquids. Tried everything. Please advise. Thank you.
