Sleeve vs band and reflux disease

[Jo Jo 2]

I was wondering if anyone has problems with reflux and has been told they can't get the band done because it will make it worst? I was told that, and left today from my Dr and now they say the sleeve may do the sam thing. I feel like they are pushing for gastric for some reason????

The band is notorious for causing reflux, as is the sleeve, BUT the big catch with the sleeve is that it can be resolved, and many patients 1-3 years out report being able to wean off their PPI without the every day reflux episodes.

A lot of the time obese people have hiatal hernias, and having that repaired can help ease reflux.

I know way more band patients that suffer with horrible reflux, and chronic esophagus issues due to the band.
