Anyone else have RNY at 220 because of acid reflux my surgery is on the 25 now

Our stats are almost identical, and I have been thinking of a bypass due to reflux also. What made you decide on the surgeon you chose?

Thanks,

Tracy Lane

I'm 5'3" and had bypass at 228 lbs 10 weeks ago. I also had GERD/acid reflux. I'm happy with my choice.

The surgeon I chose has high reviews and he was honest with me about the reflux he said most surgeons would probably just give me the sleeve I wanted but he was honest and told me what the risks were and didn’t advise it that’s why I went with him he actually cared about me

Hi. My reflux is gone! Pain killers usually make me nauseous, but I took Dilauded in the hospital, and since they were also giving me Zofran every 6 hours for nausea anyway I was fine. I needed the Dilauded while I was in the hospital for 2 nights/3 days.

They are only planning on keeping me one nite I hope I don’t get nauseous

They may give you something to prevent nausea. Good luck!!

I’m 5’1 and 258 and will be having the bypass due to my GERD. I previously had the sleeve and that is when I started having issues with GERD/acid reflux. It is so bad for me. I am scheduled for the 24th of this month!

I had the vertical sleeve August 2012 and will be revising to the RNY in the next couple of months — surgery date to be determined early August. I'm also on the lower end — BMI wise — at 214 lbs currently (4 lbs more than my pre-VSG weight/193 lbs on the day of surgery). Mostly revising to get rid of GERD (hopefully) amongst several other issues I've developed.

You're only 3 days away! Good luck — Wishing you a safe recovery and NO MORE REFLUX!
