  1. I don’t have any symptoms of silent reflux. I just told my doctor I was leaning towards getting the sleeve and he said I should get that done to make sure I don’t have it because if I do the bypass would be better. I have to have an endoscopy anyways & he said they just place a capsule in my esophagus while they’re already in there & it’s simple but I’ve read some posts where people say the capsule is really uncomfortable until it falls off and I don’t know if I can handle that feeling in my throat. Are you talking about the silent reflux that can cause cancer? I haven’t heard that..
  2. Did anyone have to do the Bravo study to test for silent acid reflux? If so, could you fill the capsule that is attached to your esophagus?
