I'll toss my name in here, too. I had VSG in 2013, lost 140 lbs and GERD started a couple years later, during my first pregnancy. I'm revising to RNY and having a hiatal hernia repaired on 12/16, so I'm on day 8 of liquids. I've also gained back 65 lbs over the last few years, so I'm really hoping if I follow all the rules, I can get back down to my lowest weight. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I also have RA (was diagnosed post-VSG) and am headed toward a revision for GERD in the next few months. My rheumatologist automatically put me on injectable methotrexate so i didn't have to deal with any GI side effects. It's really easy and cheap - I still have to draw it up myself from the vial with an insulin needle. But I have no side effects from it. My bigger problem will probably be figuring out what i can take for as-needed pain relief...
