Has anyone else experienced GERD after the Gastric bypass? I got the bypass after my sleeve was causing my stomach acid to burn lesions in my esophagus. A year has gone by, but for the last few months I have been getting really bad heartburn again. I'm getting an endoscopy next week, but I can't seem to find anything about what this could be. The ironic thing, is that I was a smoker for years, but NOW I don't smoke and rarely drink, but my acid feels worse than when I was smoking etc. This happens if I eat or not, when I wake up sometimes, I can't seem to pinpoint a reason. Please let me know if anyone else has been through this. Sent from my moto g(7) supra using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm an Army Veteran, I completely understand what you are talking about! I always was over on my weight, but passed tape. I was always worried about my weight. However, nothing beats the horror of saying you are a Veteran and at least THINKING you see a flicker of disbelief and disgust in the eyes of the person you're talking to. YES I understand the shame. The embarrassment of previously knocking out 50 push ups in 2 min, and then being 120 lbs overweight. I got you, girl! Well, I have lost 9O lbs, 30 away from goal weight right now. Still not feeling awesome, but it's slowly coming together. God bless you on your journey and be excited for what is to come!

I'm actually 3mo (sleeve to bypass for GERD) out and am still having acid. This bypass surgery has not been worth the effort, money, pain, misery so far. If I wasn't so disappointed and depressed, I would be pissed off. Sorry, no advice, but it is not just you.

I 100% agree with you. I miss my sleeve. I was on the way to getting esophageal cancer from GERD...Btw, I still have acid problems, just not as bad....so I had to get revised to the bypass. I hate it. I can't possibly understand how less stomach let's me eat more?? Idk, I feel like I am. I've only lost 20lbs in 2+ months also. So miserable and nauseous all of the time, don't get me started on toilet stuff....ugh. HATE THIS

Tomorrow I go in for my corrective surgery, Sleeve to RNY, due to severe acid reflux. Any tips? This is the first time I have ever done a bowel prep... hopefully it won't be too bad.....still waiting! Sent from my moto e5 supra using BariatricPal mobile app

The main reason you don't drink while eating is to keep the food in there to help get satiated. It's not going to ruin you, but it's good that you recognized the difference. Good luck [emoji106] Sent from my moto e5 supra using BariatricPal mobile app

I love my surgeon [emoji173]️ Monalisa Misra, she is amazing, caring and so experienced. My Lapband surgeon is a piece of $#!T.....Milton Owens..... Sent from my moto e5 supra using BariatricPal mobile app

Dude, lol....I got the lapband first. The sleeve was supposed to be my salvation. It really works so well! I just can't deal with this pain and fire anymore. I can be in a dead sleep, wake up with acid in my mouth, I run to the toilet to spit it up, and then my gag reflex kicks in. So much burning! Sent from my moto e5 supra using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you [emoji4] I'm scared. Like you said, me and my intestines are a team! Not looking forward to chopping them up. That's why I chose the sleeve. Damn!!! Ugh Sent from my moto e5 supra using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm really trying to find out how to work veggies into smoothies, or juice extracts etc. Not looking for calorie info.... just looking for veggies that can be camouflaged in a smoothie/juice. I HATE spinach, kale....meh....so I find it very hard to believe that I can erase the gross flavor while still getting vitamins.... not talking about the pills, chews, powders etc....I'm stuck with getting a bypass. My sleeve worked great until Barrett's esophagus was on the possible side effects list for me. Just wanted to hear input on veggies....duh, carrots, got it....that can round out a nutritious smoothie. Once again.... not asking for anything synthetic...got that....not asking about calorie intake. Thanks! Sent from my moto e5 supra using BariatricPal mobile app
