Hi! I was just given my surg. date in 4 weeks. As part of the pre-op I had to have an endoscopy. I did not have any symptoms, this was done as part of the prelims for surg. I just received a call from my doc and was told that I have Barrett's esophogus and that I should not have the sleeve but opt for the bypass instead. Has anyone heard of this or dealt with a similar problem. I am reading alot about those of you that have the haital hernia,but haven't seen anything about Barrett's. Thanks for helping out!

Thanks for responding! They did a biopsy while they were in there and I have another meeting Mon with my doc. I need to find a GI doc ASAP. Did you have the sleeve and do you have issues with reflux?
