Hi

Just to add what my doc said regarding GERD/heartburn and WLS- I asked specifically as I've been treated for GERD for many years- he said that while there is a chance that reflux may appear or worsen with the sleeve, in his patients, he's only had 3 that needed revision to RnY because of that. I feel confident in going ahead with the sleeve, as weight loss itself may improve my reflux dramatically. Good luck with your decision- as long as it's a fully informed one, it's the right decision for you.

@@tfarr Oh my god, I thought I was the only one! But you know, I think ultimately the surgery is a good thing, especially if done soon. One of the best things you can do is get in shape, which I know I can't do on my own.
