Acid reflux

I've had acid reflux for years - not due to a hernia. A friend warned me that the sleeve could make it much much worse but when I've asked the coordinators, they don't seem to think to a problem. Does anyone have experience with acid reflux both pre and/or post sleeve and can share personal experiences, please? Thanks!

    People are different. But for me, I had reflux for 18 yrs. Four months post op doc took me off of meds & I only had 1 episode since.

    You will most likely be on long term PPI after any WLS. It's just goes with the smaller area for the reflux to occur.

    I didn't have acid reflux at all until I put on all this weight. I'm on Nexium now so hopefully after I lose weight the acid reflux will go away as well :)
