    Just wanted to let you know that as soon as my bypass was done I had no reflux whatsoever! My surgery was on November 12th, and I feel great. I started at 176, my SW 157, CW 142

    Anyone out there getting the bypass for acid reflux it's going to have a nice surprise because it takes it away almost instantly I haven't had one problem and I haven't had to take any Prilosec.

    Hi nomorefattypatty! (Love the name)
    Hoping u r doing well ....
    Im scheduled to have the sleeve on Dec 4th. I have some reservations and when I read ur post I was wondering if I could ask how soon after ur sleeve surgery did ur reflux start and if you have had any prior to surgery. I’m concerned about having to have a revision which I’m definitely not on board for.
    Regards,

    Thanks!
    I had the bypass on Nov 12 and it took awhile to get back to eating anything. I'm happy to let you know that since day one I haven't had to worry about reflux at all. Some people might not believe me but I am so relieved to not have any acid in my throat anymore. Haven't had to take Omeprazole for over a month now. It's a whole new life. I did have acid reflux before the sleeve for about 3 years, but it got worse after the sleeve.

    I was only doing the bypass because of the reflux and I suffered for a long time. The bypass was so much better and easier. I swear the first sleeve surgery was done wrong but I never checked. Since I came home Thursday I don't need Omeprazole so far I'm doing great. Let's pray I never get the reflux back. You'll do great in surgery and get up and walk around a lot it helps everything moving forward. Good luck[emoji5]

    I'm wishing you the best of luck as you go through your bypass today!! [emoji847]
    Bypass was a cake walk compared to the sleeve. The previous Dr had to have done something wrong. I went in at 12:30 Tuesday, stayed 2 nites and I was home on Thursday. I'm not having any dumping problems, once in a while if I eat too fast. Thank God for Zophran. Otherwise I feel fantastic. During the first six months of nut meetings my
    SW: 179
    SWT:168
    CW: 149
    When I got the sleeve I was at 238
    and Surgery weight 209
    I was down to 142 at my lowest, not sure if I'm going to have problems down the line but so far so good. Thank you for your kind thoughts

    I think the bypass was easier than the sleeve. With the sleeve I didn't even want to drink and I didn't let myself get to worried about the surgery because I think that makes you think it's gonna be worse than it really is. I'm able to sip slowly and the broth and Jell-O help ! I'm so farveru happy I did the revision hopefully my acid reflux never comes back. That's the only reason I revised. Praying it helps.

    I apologize if someone has already responded. Sleeve creates a high pressure system within your stomach, worsening GERD or creating it (me!). Bypass makes your stomach so small it produces little acid. I will say that I’ve had a complication of mini ulcers in my duodenum because it’s never been exposed to acid or there’s something else wrong. Getting a barium CT next week. ZERO regrets going from sleeve to bypass. I’ll take the pain and, quite frankly, pooping myself once over the 24/7, wake up choking on vomit that I had with the sleeve.
    I completely agree, Im having the bypass done after having the sleeve due to vomiting and constant reflux and its been going on since the sleeve was done 3 years ago. I just assumed the vomiting was from me overeating. I can't wait to get this over. My surgery was scheduled in October but due to some family emergency I had move it to Nov. and now I'm on my second 5 day fast in 2 months and I can't wait til they put me to sleep just so I can't feel hungry anymore.

    I had to reschedule my surgery to Nov.12th so now I'm doing this starvation diet again! 2nd time in a row and I'm tired of this hopefully they put me to sleep fast for surgery so I don't have to be hungry anymore.

    I've been a big fan of Phormula-1, although I found I liked fewer flavors post-op than I did pre-op. It's whey Protein isolate, and it's surprisingly tasty. I'm a fan of the vanilla Milkshake and chocolate Milkshake varieties. I wanted to love the fruity Syntrax flavors, and I wanted to love the savory Unjury flavors, but none of them worked for me [emoji20] (I do like Unjury's chocolatey flavors though!)

    Thank you for the info I'm having my bypass on Nov. 12th don't know what time yet.

    Ok, I've been using six star unflavored Protein Powder for the last 3 years. I'm wondering if anyone has a better Protein powder out there because Walmart is out of stock and I can't even order it online from them. I found it on Groupon but I'm afraid of hidden fees can anyone tell me about Groupon or where they get their six star because Amazon and Bariatric pal can be very pricey.
