for those that have had a revision from sleeve to bypass....

Curious why being a smoker would deter from bypass?

I am 11 weeks post op now from my revision. My GERD is 95% gone. I do still take 40mg of Omeprazole every morning but I want to stop taking it to see how I do. I don't think I need it anymore.

I was revised from Band to Sleeve in 2010 which I don't think it was as well known as it is now that the Sleeve can make GERD worse or that it can happen later on in post op. I'd tell anyone that has known GERD to not get the sleeve as it can get worse, then you'd need a revision. Why risk so many surgeries? My Bypass works great and I wish I'd have gotten it from day 1.
