Did you develop GERD or did it worsen after surgery?

Research has shown that VSG can cause GERD or worsen it in those who already have it. Has anyone experienced this? How was it resolved? Did you also have a hiatal hernia and if so, was it repaired during surgery?

I am having second thoughts about this surgery (band to sleeve) for this reason (I have been diagnosed with GERD, have a small hiatal hernia) and because of the NO NSAIDS for life - I have chronic back pain and arthritis (I am 64). All of this gives me pause for thought.

    I did have a hernia repair at the time of my surgery. I did not nor have been diagnosed to having GERD. I am four years and two months post op and still losing weight and feeling great. Sorry for any problems that you may be having or experiencing that is causing you to change from the LapBand to the Sleeve.
