Sleeve to bypass

So I had my sleeve 2012. I was great for the first year... Year 2 I started getting a little reflux... But year 3, This past year, has been a nightmare. I am on 5 different medications, I can't get it under control. I saw a surgeon, not the original surgeon, who is colleague of my original surgeon for a second opinion since my original surgeon got defensive like I was accusing him of messing something up. He gave me a few options and we decided on gastric bypass. I had some pre-op testing done and now I wait for my approval. We went over my UGI and it states no reflux however I explained my reflux isn't as soon as I eat.. It's a half an hour to hours later. He thinks I have a stricture or stenosis in my pouch. I am just hoping to be approved. I would really like to have the issue resolved. I am at a loss. If I eat I have heartburn and if I don't I have heartburn. I am miserable.

Let's see, your UGI said that you did not have acid reflux. So there is a strong possibility what you are experiencing is a stricture, which generally is a fairly simple fix. Sounds like a quick fix and also a lot less painful that trying to do a sleeve to RNY revision.
