  1. Hello, I am 5 years out from the sleeve as well, I basically had the same issues with the acid it was waking me up in the night, and almost everything gave me heartburn! I did not experience any pain however. I had a upper gi done and they found I had schatzki ring and Haital hernia. It is circular scar tissue that causes the esophagus to narrow. They were actually surprised that I didn’t have pain, just the terrible heartburn and I also couldn’t gulp water for years, I just thought it was because of the smaller stomach??‍♀️ They did another upper gi were they went in and dialated my esophagus. Ever since they did the procedure in September I have been ?! Before this they were talking about having to convert me to the bypass surgery because of the gerd, which I wasn’t looking forward to. I also went completely low carb/keto type diet to try and relieve some of the gerd, which also helped!
