  4. LesbianDad30 , sometimes the best diet & medicine Don’t control reflux, I assure you that. I’ve taken the best & cheapest reflux meds they’re only temporary fix . But back to stats the Bypass has best weight loss success rate & but out for many yrs before sleeve.i have many friends on here, co -workers & ppl I’ve met whom agree with bypass stats..as we know each person is different & btw I never knew I had reflux until testing before surgery, also some I have tried foods that shouldn’t bother/agitate my reflux but they do six yrs later after continued monitoring.. to each their own but do your research throughly before making a major surgical decision.
  5. I never felt any differentl with bypass everything felt same except being sore from Anesthesia making body & throat a lil sore.
