Testing how a reflux medication works after gastric bypass surgery

This trial is testing esomeprazole, a common medication that reduces stomach acid and helps prevent ulcers and reflux. The study wants to see how well this medication works in people who have had gastric bypass surgery, and whether it matters if you take it as a tablet or dissolved in liquid. Researchers will measure the medication in your blood and track your stomach acid levels to understand how it works best after this type of surgery.

After gastric bypass surgery, the stomach anatomy changes, which may affect how medications are absorbed and how well they work. This study aims to figure out the best way to give this medication to people after surgery so it can effectively prevent painful ulcers and reflux symptoms.
