Hey! So I’m 4 years post op with gastric sleeve and I’ve just recently fallen ill... my symptoms are constant and not easing up with any medication. After GP appointments, specialists appointment and even a trip to the emergency department I finally decided to call my surgeon who thinks it may be a hiatal hernia or GERD. He said if it’s the hernia he can repair and if it’s GERD you will need to go ahead with the bypass... is this true?? I’m 163cm tall and 57kgs... I really really realllllly don’t want to get the bypass but I’m feeling so sick daily... has anyone experienced GERD after the sleeve??

The Greater Fool and Keatsy, I would like to call your attention to a change in the rules to this board. Two new rules have been added. These are

1. No Flaming. This includes:
   • Any kind of personal insult, flame, or intimidation. Responding in kind to a flame message is viewed as equally unacceptable, regardless of who started it. If you believe you are being insulted or otherwise flamed by another poster, please REPORT the post or topic rather than responding.
   • This applies to both written text and image posting. There is no need to turn disagreements into heated arguments. Rather than letting these threads become flame wars please agree to disagree or the thread is likely to be locked.
2. No Trolling. This includes:
   • Creating threads for the sole purpose of causing unrest on the forums.
   • Causing disturbances in forum threads, such as picking fights, making off-topic posts that ruin the thread, insulting other posters.
   • Making posts designed to or likely to get inappropriate responses. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet) for more information.

The conversation is drifting off-topic and if it continues will fall into the realm of "flaming the board".

Happy to report, but I hope when I report things are done about it, as they're often ignored, including sexist, racist and homophobic remarks.

That said, I've received your message loud and clear and there will be no further issues on my side.
