    Does VSG typically increase heartburn

    Just had my consult,a few weeks,ago and i was,also worried,about,that,as,I have gerd and have had it for years. The surgeon said, " about 1/3 of sleeved patients will e,perience heartburn after the sleeve". He,also,said, " what he is,seeing more and more now is,that 4 to 5 years out,sleeve patients,arw getting heartburn really bad and getting a revision to rny.

    Why did you choose bypass?

    Your story sounds like what my surgeon just told me during my consult. He,said about 1/3 of sleeve patients will experience hearburn after the procedure, but he said he is seeing many people 4/5 yearsafter the sleeve having horrendous reflux and doing revisions to rny. Not sure how long your out, best of luck to u. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

    Does VSG typically increase heartburn

    I have had gerd / acid reflux for years. I had the consult with the sergeon 8/31 and,we talked,about this. He said" yes about 1/3 of sleeve patients will experience heartburn after, and it can be bad". He also said what he is now seeing is lot of is people 4 / 5 years out from the sleeve surgery are having bad reflux and opting for the revision to bypass. He wants to do a scope on me, before any surgery, but at this point im leaning toward the bypass instead of my first choice of the sleeve. I dont want to have anymore surgery/ revision, years later.

    I'm so unsure of what I want! Help!

    I do have gone through the bloodwork, psych eval., met with surgeon, and now have to be scoped, and sleep apnea test. I was set on the sleeve, but read horror stories about acid reflex, after the sleeve. I talked to the surgeon about this, as I have had gerd for years. He said yes it is common, and what he is really starting to see is 4 to 5 years out from the sleeve people are REALLY experiencing reflux bad, and end up doing a revision to the bypass. So i have made up my mind to have the bypass, because I do not want to have a revision down the line. Im 57 now BMI 35 so Im not gonna chance having reflux daily and another surgery. Good luck to you. Hope I have helped somewhat. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

    Ohhhh I,see. That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.???? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
  15. I just read a blog about Many people getting kidney disease after taking prescribed acid reflux meds. Im in the process of gastric sleev surgery, and have been on these meds for years. I know,reflux is a side effect of the surgey, and patients,are put on these med after surgery. Has anyone had kidney disease or heard of this?? Now Im second guessing surgery.

  16. TAYFUSION304 I agree with you I dont want any revision. Im leaning toward the bypass, now after talking to the surgeon. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
  17. I've never heard that. Obesity and comorbities can certainly cause kidney disease. Talk to your surgeon but I don't think this is a concern.Yes, it realmy is true, and a real concern. I just had my consult with my surgeon and he basically agreed with me, and said he doesnt like anyof thosr meds Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

    Sleeve vs bypass

    Mina Dina:I met with my surgeon yesterday for my consult, and I told him about my gerd, and im gonna have an scope procedure. But what he said was, that what he is seeing with sleev patients, is 4 or5 years after the sleeve the gerd is coming back, in addition to some people having it about 3 month out of sleeve surgery. Now I thi k Im leaning toward the gastric bypass. I dont want to go through surgery again with a revision. Thank u. Its funny some people with gerd improve with the sleeve. Some have worse gerd than before the sleeve. So confusing Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

    Revision from VSG to RNY Due to GERD

    I just had my consult with my surgeon today,and i was gonna get the sleeve, but now, because of having years of gerd im leaning towards GB. My surgeon said, " that typically he,sees more reflux issues after 4 to 5 years out". But sleeve patients can and some get reflux about 3 months out also. I dont,want to have to do the revising later. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
  22. TAYFUSION304It is 35 BMI (which i am) and one comorbidity. But I thought typically a person with a higher bmi are more apt to go with gastric bypass. Had my surgeon consult today, and be ause of acid reflux he said I could do the GB instead of the sleeve. Not sure what to do, but I know forsure Im concerned about the reflux that is typical after the sleeve Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
