Revision from Sleeve to Gastric Bypass due to Acid Reflux

[E. Diddy 10]

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.

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....
