hello I new to the group. I am scheduled to have my surgery nov 3rd. I was originally planning through this whole process to have the gastric. I met with my doctor this week and he told me the sleeve might be a good option too to consider. I just wanted to hear from people who had the surgery and see what you have to say. or maybe why you went with one over the other. thanks.

Did any sleevers have have some form of heartburn? Hiatial Hernia repair can improve it?

I did suffer from 'silent reflux' at night, pre-op, and was taking omeprazole which prevented it. During my sleeve op they discovered that my hiatus hernia was larger than anticipated, so repaired it before proceeding. Like most sleeve patients I was prescribed dissolvable lansaprazole post op. I'm now 6 weeks out and had a check-up yesterday. I asked if I could stop the lansaprazole now as I'd had the hernia repair but was advised to keep taking them as acid reflux is common in sleeve patients. I haven't had any problems so far..
