So I am in the six month program because I can get surgery...but I haven't decided which surgery I want, leaning towards the Sleeve. I have a history of GERD, I am hearing that this procedure would not be so great on someone with GERD? Anyone thoughts?

*before I can get surgery, not because

What I have deduced from reading everything I could get my hands on is that with the sleeve, it takes a while for your stomach to figure out it doesn't need to produce as much acid as it did when you had a full stomach. It takes it a few months to come around, so during the first 6 months or so after surgery, Sleevers need to take an antacid, maybe even two, every day. But eventually, the GERD is supposed to let up. At least, that's what I'm counting on! Logic tells me that the reason I usually get reflux is because I eat too much; I don't get it on the days that I eat less. Well, after the Sleeve, I won't be eating nearly that much . . . right? :-)

Well I know when I weighed less I didnt have a problem with it, so I am hoping that is what will happen! thank you I was just a little worried because I keep reading that if you have GERD then you shouldn't get the sleeve...

Also antacids work great for me, so if I can continue taking them then that would be great! Thanks again
