Thank you. I’ve been searching, but have not come across this particular solution my surgeon proposes. I don’t disagree with him as it sounds viable, I am trying to do my due diligence. Thank all of you again. There is an article, abstract only on line for this : “ Effects of Adding Gastrojejunostomy to Sleeve Gastrectomy on GERD, Food Tolerance, and Weight Loss: A Randomized Study.” i would be interested in opinions on this if someone reads article.

Thanks. I agree with assessment as well. Just looking for others that may be similar

I’ve gone from band in 09 to sleeve in 2013. I have severe GERD, with many qualifying tests, my doctors want to preform a Gastrojejunostomy added to the sleeve. It is the malabsorption part of the roux en y procedure leaving the sleeve intact. There are papers on it saying it is a good added procedure and relieves the GERD and protects the esophagus from excess reflux. It is a hybrid procedure. Has anyone any information on this, heard of it?

Help! I had reflux that caused coughing all my life. After being banded Jan 08 it settled down after 5 weeks and went AWAY! Last month I had a fill that was too much, had 1/2 cc removed and all was great -for a week. The cough has escalated now and I cough all the time. Take Protonix, gaviscon. I am okay while standing during the day, but as soon as I eat and sit, I cough a LOT!! Sometimes until I gag and spit up. Anybody have problems such as this? Please help. I just had an upper GI. I am working through this with my doc.:rolleyes2:

Hi! I am scheduled for the 15th! I feel as you do. I am eating more than normal - at least more junk than normal. It won't be long, though, and we will have the help that we need. Nothing tastes as good as skinny! Good luck on your banding!
