Acid reflux after surgery?

[mansart 0]

:svengo:I am trying to make the decision to have the VSG and already suffer with GERD and take Nexium daily for many years. I am reading that this surgery sometimes actually causes GERD so PLEASE HELP by telling me your experiences. Are you able to control your acid reflux? I really do not want to have to come back and get the RNY becasue of reflux. I was hoping that with the weight loss the reflux would go away. Has this happened for anyone? This is really the main thing that is holding me back at this time.

I never had reflux before surgery, and take Prilosec to prevent it. I know a lot of people that have had their reflux resolve with sleeve surgery.

my doc said that gerd would not stop you from having the sleeve done and it may resolve it self with the weight loss
