@@PRINCESS2218 doc sent me home with script for prilosec does the trick keeping gerd away for ME is your gerd/heartburn frequent? a PPI will hopefully help/calm down the situation the sleeve is "technically" one of the newer WLS yearsssss back it was used to help stomach cancer doctors were realizing that people would lose weight PO eventually it was then made/used as a procedure for weight loss i never heard that heartburn/gerd could be a cause of cancer doc is the man in the know!!! hope your doc is good about returning phone calls, and can put your mind at ease good luck kathy
