I also suffer with extreme gerd been on priloce for over two years had a pre op upper endoscopy they discoverd a hiatal hernia causing the gerd hoping my surgeon will consider fixing the hernia while performing the sleeve ive heard lots of drs to it to help ease the effects of gerd have u had an endoscopy to see if there is something besides the weight causing ur gerd its something u should bring up with ur surgeon i highly recommend it
