Does the sleeve help with ibs and gerd?? My doctor is recommending this surgery because of that... Any information will be helpful! Thanks

It depends. I had GERD pre-surgery and for for the first for months post-op it got worse but then it got better. I do still have some GERD issues but it has calmed down quite a bit. I've had INS in the past but it was stress related. Have you tried using organic apple cider? I have been drinking a big glass of Water with a Tbsp of organic apple cider every morning and my reflux has almost disappeared. It has to be organic apple cider in order to help with digestive issues.
