So I've been reading on the forum and have saw that the sleeve procedure can make GERD worse and bypass cures it. However, doesn't seem like there's many switch people, so I was wondering if SIPS makes GERD worse or does it clear it?

I know DS (the switch) uses a sleeved stomach, so yes, that could potentially make GERD worse (just like the sleeve can). I'm not sure about SIPS. If they use a sleeved stomach for that, too, then yes - there's that risk.

I just recently got SIPS a few weeks ago and my heartburn has been pretty bad. I've heard different things about it, my dr says it should calm down pretty drastically after 60-90 days. But I've also read other things that it can be pretty long term/permanent. But I also tested positive for H Pylori bacteria so now I'm on antibiotics for that. Hoping that helps it.

Did your doctor give you an antacid as well? I know my doctor said it's common for all wls patients to have heartburn so they put all of theirs on antacids for the first 60 days

I was on nexium, but it didn't touch it after surgery, so they prescribed me dexilant and it still wasn't really helping. So now I'm on 2 antibiotics, another PPI (don't remember the name) to treat the heartburn and possible ulcer, plus extra strength zantac, all twice a day. I've only been on it for about a day and a half, so I can't give a whole lot of feedback yet on if it's helping. I've also found that getting my stomach adjusted by my chiropractor helps also.

I had the SIPS Sept 6 2016 and have had absolutely no issues with acid reflux, heartburn or gerd.

Oh good that's great to hear. I've had a little bit of heartburn, but I just found out I have a hernia, so they think that's what it's from and that it should get better.

It won't help it in any way. So if it was a problem before, it will most likely remain. I never had GERD before my sleeve. Had minor GERD after it, just had SIPS 12/16/16 and it did not improve any.

Were you put on any antacid during your first month? My surgeon puts all his patients on it because he said it's common for wls patients to experience some acid reflux

Yes Jane, Have a had a PPI since my sleeve. I just try not to take it very often as long term use of PPI's are not good for you at all.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
