IBS and GERD



Recommended Posts

I had severe acid reflux (GERD) before surgery. I had RNY 32 months ago and the GERD went into remission ever since surgery. Normally sleeve is not recommended for GERD patients because it can make the GERD condition worse.

Thank you for the info. I can't wait for the day to Not have any Issues. I was told by a few that it depends on how bad your GERD is. However lately I was told NO Sleeve because of It. So RNY it will be for me! :)

I have had GERD my entire life. My RNY surgery is February 16. Is it typical for it to go away right after surgery, since you no longer have a big stomach to hold all the acid? My anxiety is kicking in since I start the liver reduction diet on Tuesday, and there is soo much acid right now... take Nexium daily, and don't want to have to buy more if I don't have to. My insurance "prefers" that I buy it OTC.

After surgery my surgeon prescribed Omeprazole (Prilosec) for the first year after surgery. This was not for GERD but for healing my stomach. So I was not officially able to tell that the GERD was gone until after I stopped using Omeprazole. I am 32 months post-op RNY and no sign of it.

Also some of the symptoms of dumping syndrome mimic the effects of GERD.

I had IBS before surgery and the symptoms have gone away. I am 8 months out and have only had a problem when my gallbladder went bad around Dec and was removed Dec 29, 2015 and I have had no problems since

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
