PatriotsFan28 29 Posted April 10, 2013 So I'm less than 24 hours away from seeing my surgeon and finishing the last step of appointments and moving on to the pre-surgery wait-n-worry game! Only one thing is concerning me at the moment, my surgeon doesn't do the sleeve for patients that take heartburn meds because he said it's known to make it worse. But here's the thing.. I do take meds but I personally think my heartburn is more or less caused from being obese and the food I was eating before starting this process. Does this make sense? I had an ultrasound and an endoscopy and both came back good, no problems no hiatal hernia nothing of that sort. I'm hoping he doesn't try to say I need the RYN.
