Diane Liggett reacted to BLERDgirl in Major reflux after Sleeve and herna repair
If you are self pay it does make sense to get the testing done and present that to the bariatric surgeon. They can then advise if sleeve or bypass is a better option. I hope something works out for you.

Diane Liggett got a reaction from BLERDgirl in Major reflux after Sleeve and herna repair
@@BLERDgirl thank you for your response. i am self pay, but it would seem to me i could go to a Gastrointernologist or ear nose and throat doctor and get either an Upper GI test or EGD done. Thank you for the input. I have heard so many wonderful things about the Gastric Sleeve especially in regulating appetite that I had always though I wanted the Gastric Sleeve over the bypass surgery. This may be my only alternative though. :-( We'll see.

@@Diane Liggett - Are you self pay? If not why not set up a consultation with the bariatric surgeon. Part of the preop process is either an Upper GI or EGD. Either one would acess you reflux issues and let you know whether you would be a good candidate for sleeve surgery. The other option then would be bypass, which from my understanding does cause issues with reflux.
