Hi Everyone My name is Shannon I am from Philadelphia, PA . I have had my lap band removed because of severe GERD. I am 5ft 4in my weight is 208 pounds my doctor thinks I should get gastric bypass. I just had a endo bravo percedure that revealed my esophagus has a lot of damage from heartburn. I am really afraid of losing to much weight with bypass. I asked my doctor if I could get the gastric sleeve. He said it will make my heartburn worse. I don't want to lose to much weight and look sick.
