Had gallbladder surgery 3 weeks ago soon after had a burning throat and pain in chest. start taking pantoprazole but no better. other treatments?

Bile reflux: May want to add reglan (metoclopramide) to help empty stomach faster. Eat smaller meals Don't lie down for 1 hr. after meals. Sleep on 2 pillows Ask your surgeon

See surgeon: This could be reflux but so soon after a surgery it is best to check with your surgeon and make sure there are no complications. In the meantime you could try taking the pantoprazole twice a day and other reflux prevention techniques. Here's a few: avoid nicotine,mints, alcohol and acidic foods, raise head of bed 2-3 inches. Eat small meals. Don't eat 3 hrs before bedtime Good luck.
