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

How was you GERD after surgery? I currently have GERD and wanted to know

will sleeve make it worse?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

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.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
