The surgeon said, " about 1/3 of sleeved patients will e,perience heartburn after the sleeve". He,also,said, " what he is,seeing more and more now is,that 4 to 5 years out,sleeve patients,arw getting heartburn really bad and getting a revision to rny.

Absolutely, very scared Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Your story sounds like what my surgeon just told me during my consult. He,said about 1/3 of sleeve patients will experience hearburn after the procedure, but he said he is seeing many people 4/5 yearsafter the sleeve having horrendous reflux and doing revisions to rny. Not sure how long your out, best of luck to u. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Are you still on pain meds? They will make you nauseous. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I have had gerd / acid reflux for years. I had the consult with the sergeon 8/31 and,we talked,about this. He said" yes about 1/3 of sleeve patients will experience heartburn after, and it can be bad". He also said what he is now seeing is lot of is people 4 / 5 years out from the sleeve surgery are having bad reflux and opting for the revision to bypass. He wants to do a scope on me, before any surgery, but at this point im leaning toward the bypass instead of my first choice of the sleeve. I dont want to have anymore surgery/ revision, years later.

I have a BMI OF 35 and I will be able to have the RNYid i choose. Im leaning that way due to gerd. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I do have gone through the bloodwork, psych eval., met with surgeon, and now have to be scoped, and sleep apnea test. I was set on the sleeve, but read horror stories about acid reflex, after the sleeve. I talked to the surgeon about this, as I have had gerd for years. He said yes it is common, and what he is really starting to see is 4 to 5 years out from the sleeve people are REALLY experiencing reflux bad, and end up doing a revision to the bypass. So i have made up my mind to have the bypass, because I do not want to have a revision down the line. Im 57 now BMI 35 so Im not gonna chance having reflux daily and another surgery. Good luck to you. Hope I have helped somewhat. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I dont think that person was tring to be rude!!! The point being..... as early out,as you are many docs dont allow that type of food this early out!!!!! Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

How common is it for a person that has,a lower BMI to have gastric bypass? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Ohhhh I,see. That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.???? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I just read a blog about Many people getting kidney disease after taking prescribed acid reflux meds. Im in the process of gastric sleev surgery, and have been on these meds for years. I know,reflux is a side effect of the surgey, and patients,are put on these med after surgery. Has anyone had kidney disease or heard of this?? Now Im second guessing surgery.

TAYFUSION304 I agree with you I dont want any revision. Im leaning toward the bypass, now after talking to the surgeon. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I've never heard that. Obesity and comorbities can certainly cause kidney disease. Talk to your surgeon but I don't think this is a concern.Yes, it realmy is true, and a real concern. I just had my consult with my surgeon and he basically agreed with me, and said he doesnt like anyof thosr meds Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Get your gallbladder checked out asap. I waiting till I had to have emergency surgery. Dont make the mistake i did. Good luck to you. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

@@sandeebYes, i will be having one. Im now keani g towards the gastric bypass, i dont want,anymorw surgeries after this, like a revision that so many people have to get. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Mina Dina:I met with my surgeon yesterday for my consult, and I told him about my gerd, and im gonna have an scope procedure. But what he said was, that what he is seeing with sleev patients, is 4 or5 years after the sleeve the gerd is coming back, in addition to some people having it about 3 month out of sleeve surgery. Now I thi k Im leaning toward the gastric bypass. I dont want to go through surgery again with a revision. Thank u. Its funny some people with gerd improve with the sleeve. Some have worse gerd than before the sleeve. So confusing Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I just had my consult with my surgeon today,and i was gonna get the sleeve, but now, because of having years of gerd im leaning towards GB. My surgeon said, " that typically he,sees more reflux issues after 4 to 5 years out". But sleeve patients can and some get reflux about 3 months out also. I dont,want to have to do the revising later. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

TAYFUSION304It is 35 BMI (which i am) and one comorbidity. But I thought typically a person with a higher bmi are more apt to go with gastric bypass. Had my surgeon consult today, and be ause of acid reflux he said I could do the GB instead of the sleeve. Not sure what to do, but I know forsure Im concerned about the reflux that is typical after the sleeve Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
