Ah, well, welcome to the wonderful world of Prilosec (omeprazole), or the other PPI of your doctor's choice. Been there, done that. There are lots of other good comments upstream, so I won't repeat them all.
Yeah, weight loss helps a lot (not so much pushing things up, it seems). 10% or so down has helped me (yeah, another WW member, here). Meds help (I actually was bad enough when first diagnosed to end up on sucralfate, which more or less acts like a band-aid on the raw areas).
Lots of other stuff falls, IMO, in the "can't hurt, might help" category.
I'm pretty sure you have my contact info - please feel free to call if you'd like to talk (if you don't have the phone number, email me).
