Oh dear, I am at a loss here. I was so looking forward to having a Gastric Sleeve surgery in late June, but when i called to set the surgery up the doctor's assistant asked if I have acid reflux. I believe I do, especially when I eat the wrong foods or food combinations. No heartburn or extreme discomfort, just a slight tightness in my throat and a feeling of belching or burping with a little bit of acid (I think) coming up from time to time. the tightness almost feels like there is an air bubble caught in my throat. i am a lifelong diet soft drink user, which i am sure does not help much. I am going to be straight up with my bariatric doctor about this. I recently had a full gastro intestinal exam including the test where they put a tube down my throat to my stomach and the one where they put a tube up your rear to your stomach. they found 3 pre-cancerous polyps in my colon. I was just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this. I really wanted to have the sleeve done. My conversation with the doctors assistant yesterday was a real bummer.
