Sleeve vs. Bypass

Ok peeps, there are enough posts about people needing sleeve to bypass revisions due to GERD, that I'm not sure which path to take. I am planning to go with Dr. Illan in Mexico.

I do not have a history of significant heartburn or acid reflux. I sure don't want the surgery to start it! (I live with someone with terrible GERD, and it is awful!)

What do y'all think?

      I had sleeve and I have GERD as a result. I take a pill for it. Not sure I would let that be a deciding factor; it's really controllable. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

      Minute chance of GERD v Malabsorption issues. Risks on both sides.

      I had GERD before the sleeve and now I don't have it at all. I guess I'm the exception because the sleeve cured my GERD and didn't give it to me.

    Ok, well there was a study done, and for those going into sleeve surgery without GERD, approx. 10% will develop it. Not so bad of odds I guess...
