I just had a revision from sleeve to bypass in June. My acid was terrible and literally had control! The sleeve did not do anything for my bad acid in 5 1/2 years. This was the only resolve for it was to have RNY. He said I would still experience a little acid for about 60 days. So I was still on my Pepcid twice a day. I still had reflux very early morning a couple times a week. I stopped having it about the end of seven weeks. He said to stop taking the second one for a week, and if I still had none, stop taking the second one too. I did, and have not had any acid! Finally! So my suggestion is that if you have severe acid and are opting for a sleeve, talk to your doctor to see if an RNY would be better for you in the long run. The recovery for RNY is no different than VSG. Had I known then what I know now, I would have had the RNY then!
