I'm about 15 months post sleeve and have had complications since the 6 month mark. Severe reflux, nausea and pain. It is all day, every day. I've been on numerous meds with little relief.

Has anyone else dealt with Bile Reflux?

I've read that the most common fix is the Roux n y...I did the sleeve to avoid that surgery but if it stops the pain and allows me to lose the rest of my weight, I will do it.

I haven't lost a single lb in 9 months because I eat crackers all day to keep the vomitting to a minimal, especially at work.

I regret this surgery every single day.

Years ago when I was diagnosed with bile reflux gastritis, my doc put me on liquid carafate. It was not all that palatable but it was like heaven in a bottle because I could feel my symptoms getting better as it coated my stomach. I don't know if you can take it post-sleeve but its worth looking into. Hope things have improved for you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
