I just received my approval from my insurance and my surgery date to go from a Sleeve to Gastric Bypass due to my Acid Reflux. Has anyone had the procedure done due to Reflux as well? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Let me know what you find out I had my Sleeve for 4 years and my acid reflex has been off the hook! they just doubled my meds had. a scope done with no real answers

My surgery for a revision for sleeve to RNY is in 3.5 weeks and my reasons are for severe GERD & regain

When did you have your sleeve surgery?

I had my sleeve done in 2011

I'm just curious...when did you start having problems with GERD?

I had minor GERD before the sleeve, wasn’t anything to complain about or take antacid’s really, once in a blue moon.

but after the sleeve it has progressively gotten worse. I started to really notice about 2 years after the sleeve and now I am on prescription meds from my surgeon and over the counter antacids. Thankfully I don’t have any ulcers or problems (had an upper GI and endoscopy).

I was the same as you never had much of a problem.......until after my sleeve now on an RX 2 x a day and take over the counter antacids from time to time

I got my sleeve done in December 2017, and I have never had heartburn/GERD in my life before this. But now, I literally cant eat anything AT ALL. I have thrown up stomach acid a few times, and I have had to sleep sitting up countless times.

I had to get an emergency scope two weeks ago, I did the barium swallow as well. ITS BAD.

I am sorry I feel your pain.....I did not know that the bi-pass was an option for it....
