Excellent question! I have GERD and my surgeon still recommended the sleeve. I questioned it once I learned that people have issues with GERD post op sleeve. The practice keeps telling me that they mostly see GERD resolved after sugery. But Im thinking.... not according to what I keep reading. Im so confused because my nut is a 2nd generation gastric surgeon who's been doing this over a decade. I've only heard good things about him and I love his bedside manner. Has anyone with GERD previous to gastric sleeve had it resolve afterwards? If not, did it stay the same or worsen?

@@red67stang I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't allowed mashed potatoes. ???? I'm almost 4 months post-op and still have hard days, but my sleeve will only hold so many different foods, one being mashed potatoes. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Good Luck! ???? Can't wait to see the before and after pics !! I can't wait to get mine done. (I'm only 2 months post-op, so it won't be for awhile lol) Sending prayers for a safe and gentle surgery and recovery! XO Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

@@krissyleigh It definitely can! My surgeon wanted me to have RNY instead of VSG because of my acid reflux. He said the sleeve could make it worse. I take 40 mg of Protonix a day which has helped, but during my surgery, he also did a hernia repair which could have been the cause to my acid reflux and heartburn. But to answer your question, YES! And every surgeon is supposed to tell you the side effects to each weight loss surgery. It also could have been something you ate, but if it's happening more frequently, I would contact your surgeon. I also don't know how many weeks/months post-op you are, but heartburn is also very common in the first 6 months. I hope this helps you some, and that you start feeling better! Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App I just realized you're still pre-op. I would ask your surgeon about it. Have you had an EGD done? It could also be a hernia which they'll repair while they do your sleeve. ???? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Good Luck! The pain was tolerable compared to the nausea/vomiting. They gave me Benadryl, Zofran, and an anti nausea patch in the hospital because the nausea and vomiting was brutal. It barely touched it! I'm 5 weeks post-op and still vomit at least twice a week, but I do not regret my decision for a second. Vomiting IS normal. I'm 41 pounds down already!! The gas pain (for me) was helped with just walking. I still have some issues with constipation, but I take a stool softener if it's been a few days. Prayers for a smooth surgery, and recovery.

I'm a little over 4 weeks post-op right now. I'm supposed to be getting in 60 grams of Protein a day. There's absolutely no way I'm getting that much in. I cannot stomach Protein shakes of any kind. As soon as I take a sip, I vomit. I've tried several different brands, flavors, and kinds. I don't know what it is, but my sleeve hates them. I do eat food with protein, but being that I can only eat 1-2 oz of food at a time, it's still not nearly enough of my daily protein intake I'm supposed to be getting. I know they have Protein Bars and Cookies. Do you think that would help? If anyone has any suggestions and/or something I can buy, PLEASE let me know. I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

@@SwampBillies The vomiting has gotten 80% better! My doctor said if it didn't get better throughout the weekend, he'd do an EGD to make sure I don't have a stricture, but now I'm able to hold down a lot more foods than before.
