So I had the sleeve first in 2013 and it worked well for me. I lost over 100 pounds but about 4-5 years post op I gained most of my weight back and started having significant GERD which I never had before. I recently had a revision to Gastric Bypass and my reflux is gone and I am losing weight again. From personal experience if you have any issues with reflux I would go with the By pass

I had gastric bypass 11/30 which was a revision from a sleeve performed in 2013. I was having significant issues with GERD and weight re-gain. I am healing very well and have had little to no pain or nausea issues. I lost about 17 pounds during my 2 week pre-op diet and lost an additional 8 lbs first week post op. I’m trying not to get frustrated but it’s tough to watch a whole week go by and the scale not move. They warned me at my 1 week post op visit that my weight loss would slow because my body thinks it’s starving. I get to start with soft solids Monday so hopefully the scale will start moving again.
