Barrett's & MGB

flyingcarb · May 7, 2017

Hello All,

im seriously contemplating getting an mgb but I may have an early stage of Barrett's. I'll find out on Monday. Has anyone here had an mgb with Barrett's?

I found out I had Barrett's during all the preop testing. Facing this diagnosis, I switched from wanting a sleeve to getting RnY. Had surgery on 4/24.

I know it's fairly recent but how are you doing so far? Also, were you advised against the mgb?

First week was rough with lots of gas pain. Luckily no nausea, but the gas pain made drinking difficult. Started feeling significantly better each day heading into week 2. The biggest struggle for me now is fatigue and getting in my liquids/ Protein Shakes bc I don't feel thirsty. I never explored getting a MGB, just went with the laparoscopic RnY Bypass.
