Hi everyone. Today my doctor called me with the results from my upper GI test and reported my GERD is severe. He told me the sleeve may make my GERD worse and talked with me about possibly getting the bypass instead or taking the risk and going forward with the sleeve.

Any thoughts or experiences would be helpful.

Thank you

Saw my doctor yesterday and he suggested I get the band removed and get the bypass instead of sleeve cause of my intolerable acid reflex..will need to

Do research as I don't know if I want to do the bypass

Well statistically a sleeve will make reflux worse. Whether you want to do a bypass or not is a different story, but doing a sleeve with bad GERD is a bad idea

Thank you for that information...I plan on listening to what my doctor suggested
