My surgeon told me I wasn't a candidate for the sleeve due to having GERD. I was told it can make it worse not only by him but also the nurse working with me thru my insurance. Also, as stated above, the negative re-enforcement of the dumping syndrome with sweets. One other thing the bypass helps with controlling cravings due to the absence or lessened amount of grehlin with the rerouted intestine. So, the bypass is what I am having on Jan. 10, 2017.
