ACID REFLUX BEFORE SLEEVE....CHANCES OF HAVING IT AFTER?

[sleevinIT 88]

So yea i have learned not to long ago that i have acid reflux.... being on here though i have read about a number of people who get it after surgery do you think that after surgery the chances it'll go away are slim? Do you guys think it'll get worse? HELP! CUZ I HATE THE FEELING AND I WOULD MUCH RATHER IT GO AWAY.

Well...I was on Nexium for about 16 years before I had this surgery and now........no more acid reflux...You have a 50/50 chance of it getting worse or better...you my dear will just have to wait and see.......

Before the surgery everything gave me reflux, even Rolaids came back up... now after surgery its gone!

I dont have it that bad.... i think it depends on what i eat... so hopefully surgery would help.

I never had it prior to surgery and now I have it pretty bad. But I take Nexium and it completely controls it.

Never had acid reflux or heartburn prior to surgery now, if I forget my med I'm in a world of hurt.

My husband used to eat tums like candy, after surgery he very rarely gets anything. Maybe twice since surgery in June.

Like others said it truly is 50/50!

I asked my dr what my chances were of getting rid of my slipped lapband induced reflux after the sleeve. He said low. That I will probly be on a PPI forever.

If I hafta take 2 pills a day forever in lieu of losing 100 lbs, Im willing to do so.
