Hi all,

Did anyone have GERD pre-op but decided to go with the sleeve instead of the bypass? How did it turn out?

I had hiatal hernia surgery at the same time as my sleeve. Haven't had problems since

I've never heard of a hiatal hernia. Is that similar to GERD? I can google it when I get to work... LOL! So glad you are doing well. [emoji847]

Other way around i didn't have Gerd or any kind of issues until my hiatus hernia was fixed with my sleeve. Now I get reflux arghhhh ... bugger hey

Hiatal hernia is what usually causes GERD. Hiatal hernia surgery repairs it.

Ugh! Well that is annoying. Is your reflux manageable?

Ohhh! My dr did not say any of those words to me. I will read up on it and ask more questions when they call me. He took a biopsy during my EGD so I am waiting for the results. Thanks so much. This is super helpful.

Yes fortunately with medication which I'm hoping in the future I'll come off when my brain decides to tell my stomach it doesn't need so much bloody acid lol

Yup, I have a hiatal hernia and GERD. Still went with the sleeve and have had no problems since the surgery. I am convinced that this is due to the types of food I now eat. Getting rid of the greasy foods, soda, and not overeating have made a huge difference.
