My surgeon said that my reflux should go away once the revision to rny is done. I don't understand why it is virtually eliminated with rny since there is still a pouch and restriction involved? Do you still get stuck with the rny pouch?

There is a seed of truth in it.

I was diagnosed with GERD years ago and had a lot of trouble with it throughout the years without my Nexium. Now that I am post-RNY, I can tell ya, I haven't felt a shred of acid reflux (knock on wood).

I am still required to take Omeprazole or Nexium daily for the next 2-3 months but that is for to prevent ulcers.

Search my recent post called GERD - my GERD was cured and several responded

My surgery was May 2nd. No signs of Acid Reflux since surgery! (knock on wood) I developed Gerd about 13 years ago but never associated it with my lap band until I had the endoscopy.

I had GERD during both my pregnancies and it went away after my first but stayed after the second one and thats been 20 years now! I've been taking Omeprazole for years and years and I've been fine. Life without GERD is gonna be wonderful and I'm looking forward to after my rny July 16.

I had the acid reflus and heart burn with the band. As soon as the band was removed i no longer had any symptoms of acid or heart burn. if you think about it logically the band is a restriction in the form of something wrapped around the stomach. the RNY is a restriction, although differnt in that it is stapeled. I hope that makes sense. I know one thing for sure I do not miss the acis reflux.......

I haven't ahead any acid reflux symptoms since my revision to RNY in May 2013.

I never had acid reflux until 2 years AFTER my gastric bypass.
