ACID REFLUX BEFORE SLEEVE....CHANCES OF HAVING IT AFTER?



Recommended Posts

So yea i have learned not to long ago that i have acid reflux.... being on here though i have read about a number of people who get it after surgery do you think that after surgery the chances it'll go away are slim? Do you guys think it'll get worse? HELP! CUZ I HATE THE FEELING AND I WOULD MUCH RATHER IT GO AWAY.

Well...I was on Nexium for about 16 years before I had this surgery and now........no more acid reflux...You have a 50/50 chance of it getting worse or better...you my dear will just have to wait and see.......

I dont have it that bad.... i think it depends on what i eat... so hopefully surgery would help. :(

Never had acid reflux or heartburn prior to surgery now, if I forget my med I'm in a world of hurt.

My husband used to eat tums like candy, after surgery he very rarely gets anything. Maybe twice since surgery in June.

Like others said it truly is 50/50!

I asked my dr what my chances were of getting rid of my slipped lapband induced reflux after the sleeve. He said low. That I will probly be on a PPI forever.

If I hafta take 2 pills a day forever in lieu of losing 100 lbs, Im willing to do so.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
