 Acid Reflux
Acid reflux, or gastroesophageal reflux disease 
(GERD), is a common side effect for people 
who have recently undergone bariatric 
surgery. It’s also quite common among the 
general population, as well, and the causes of 
acid reflux are varied.
How To Prevent Acid Reflux
Many people who suffer from acid reflux 
wonder about how to prevent acid reflux, or 
how to avoid acid reflux. In this section, you 
will learn some tips for acid reflux and how to 
deal with it. If you’ve recently had a bariatric 
procedure but haven’t experienced the 
results you want, you have options for 
bariatric revision surgery.
Eat More Slowly
By slowing down your eating speed, you 
can allow ample time for the food to 
pass through the esophagus and into 
the stomach, preventing the likelihood 
of the regurgitation that can cause acid 
reflux.
Avoid Eating Right Before Bed Or 
Before Exercising
Laying down right after eating is 
sometimes a trigger for GERD 
symptoms. Similarly, eating before 
exercising can cause a similar effect 
due to how your body moves during 
exercise.
Avoid Common Trigger Foods
Spicy foods, foods high in fat, 
peppermint, acidic foods such as citrus 
fruits and tomatoes, and chocolate can 
trigger symptoms. Not only this, but 
many beverages (especially caffeinated 
and alcoholic beverages) can cause 
symptoms to get worse. 
Sleep With Your Body Elevated
If you have an adjustable bed that 
allows you to sleep in an elevated 
position, this could help reduce 
problems associated with GERD.
