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 :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
