Megdelyn 85 Posted September 6, 2015 Still have reflux with the sleeve. Mine is worse now, but it wasn't that bad to start with. Controlled with omiprazole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loulourt 10 Posted September 6, 2015 I have band and my reflux is terrible. It's mostly because the band has slipped. I'm nervous that when I have revision to sleeve that I will continue to have it. My surgeon assured me that since I didn't have it prior to the band that I should be ok. I'm still nervous though!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katybelle7 65 Posted September 7, 2015 Had a huge hiatal hernia repaired when changed from band to sleeve last week. It never bothered me with band, doesn't bother me right now with sleeve. I do take med mentioned above. With any WLS, you take your chances. Your healthier body and chance at a longer life are worth it, tho! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeniiake 6 Posted October 7, 2015 Sorry had to say it. Been sick with it for a week now Amen!!! @@Megdelyn I'm in the same boat. Thought the acid was going to burn a hole in my chest at one point. Omeprazole scrip saved me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracytma 19 Posted October 9, 2015 I have damage to my esophagus because of the band RNY for me. I have a question. Did you have Gerd before your band? I've had gerd for as long as I can remember. It did not get any worse when I had my band. I've had my band removed, and I'm now getting a Sleeve in December. I'm trying to gather all the information I can. Many thanks in Advance.

VSGmary 418 Posted October 9, 2015 From what i have read a lot more sleeve patients suffer GERD after their op. I am one of those! Most of what I've read, that had GERD prior to surgery, have opted to have the bypass and were successful. Do some more research and maybe get a second or even third opinion as to what type of operation you should opt for to help you with this. I wish you all the best with your weight loss journey.

knrpick1 1 Posted October 11, 2015 I'm new to the group. Had my lap and in 2009. I was in a car accident in 2011. I have had lots of problems. My acid reflux was so bad I would wake up to dry heaving acid every night. Stupid doc just took out all my Fluid and didn't do upper GI. So I just went back couple years later to a different doc. I want to switch but I'm afraid of my not being able to stop eat. My addiction to food is bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My reflux is terrible. I'm not sure if when I pushed during delivery that something slipped but I am in the process of having revision. I know that even though I LOVE food I will b able to control myself and eat in moderation as I'm supposed to and I will be exercising more and will enjoy my new lease on life!!!!!!

Pinkgirl1234 761 Posted October 19, 2015 Because of my insane battle with GERD and other issues as it relates to the band I am now opting for a revision to bypass .I was going for the sleeve but will now go with bypass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susan2008 9 Posted October 26, 2015 Did anyone of you who had slipped band with GERD and converted to sleeve have positive experience. Local doctor says GERD was caused by the band. He was adament for me to go to sleeve as my BMI was low. Im scheduled for sleeve this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
