Gotta switch to BYPASS...UGH



Recommended Posts

Well' date=' I had my GI today, it showed, Acid, and bile in my pouch. It also showed ulceration, in my Stomach. Surgeon said only thing to do for the Acid Reflux is switch to a Bypass….I am so Depressed…….[/quote']

Sorry to hear that. The same thing happened to me plus I was a terrible type 2 diabetes patient. I was on 3 injections and two pills. The surgeon and other colleagues tried to convince me of the bypass but I advocated for my self and got the sleeve, and boy was I happy I did. It turned out that when my surgeon went in they found a hernia which did not show in the endoscopy and a mass on the part of the stomach that she was going to remove which also did not show on the endoscopy. They removed the mass along with tissue that was not suppose to be there. My surgeon said she was stunned she had never seen anything like it before. It turns out I had something called pancreatic heterotopia do basically my stomach was not comprised of stomach tissue but pancreas tissue which sums up why I had. A lot of stomach aches. My sleeve is smaller than most she had to remove 90% of the stomach. In the end I'm happy I stood up for myself.
