Sleeve will make it worse. If you have GERD, RNY is probably your best option. What does your Dr say?

Excellent question! I have GERD and my surgeon still recommended the sleeve. I questioned it once I learned that people have issues with GERD post op sleeve. The practice keeps telling me that they mostly see GERD resolved after sugery. But Im thinking.... not according to what I keep reading. Im so confused because my nut is a 2nd generation gastric surgeon who's been doing this over a decade. I've only heard good things about him and I love his bedside manner.

Has anyone with GERD previous to gastric sleeve had it resolve afterwards? If not, did it stay the same or worsen?

I was put on prilosec 3 months I think, before my sleeve.. and continued to take it until about 2 months after my surgery.. I haven't needed it since. But I don't know if I'm the norm.. I read a lot ahead of time, that it could actually worsen after sleeve.. it didn't in my case. If I had a higher starting weight than I did- I may have gone for gastric bypass just to avoid that.. but sleeve just seemed like the least invasive for me with the most benefit.

My Dr told me it could make it worse but he still recommend sleeve for me. I have a hiatal hernia that has to be prepared as well. He think since my GERD is controlled with meds currently I should be fine.

I have a hiatus hernia which is very large which means that i suffer with GERD my surgeon at first suggested a bypass but then after he has discussed my case with the MDT team phoned me back. He said he had spoken to the professor and that they will operate on the hiatus hernia and do a sleeve as they think this will be best option. He mentioned about doing the sleeve a bit lower. I am not sure what this means but am going to speak to him at my pre op appointment. I am having my surgery on 20th Jan. I currently take Landszoprisole with helps with the GERD.
