“I had gallstone filled gallbladder removed along with emergency ERCP for stone in common duct on 10/28/08. Now it’s Feb 1 and I’ve had GERD or acid-flux according to drs, ever since. I’ve been given Pepcid (worked for 2 weeks), prilosec (did nothing), Prevacid for 2 months (helped a bit maybe) and now on my third day of Aciphex – burning, shooting pains are getting worse. My dr wants to do another ERCP for possible missed stone. Has anyone had any thing like this? Also, since the surgery I’ve had a couple bouts of severe trapped gas, burping all day, hunger pang type pains (similar to what I had before the surgery!!). This is debilitating and depressing – no medication apparently is helping.

Help anyone??”
