MGB advice

Hi! I'm having a Mini Gastric Bypass done on the 26th and I am worried about bile reflux. I've read more horror stories than happy ones on multiple forums, so I'm concerned I will end up another victim of bile reflux. Has anyone had a MGB and NOT have reflux? I really want a RNY but the surgeon won't do it. Any advice?

    He said it's a surgery I dont need when a mini gastric bypass would be perfect for me. I'm scared of getting bile reflux from the MGB. That's why I want the RNY. If I get reflux then I have to pay for a RNY anyways. I'm not happy about it, but I need surgery so I will have to deal with it and hope I'm not one of the people that get reflux.

    If it was me, I would have another conversation well before surgery and discuss this topic with the surgeon yet again.

    Don't risk being dissatisfied with the relationship and what you are getting. Its a long partnership

    Good Luck ?
