catwoman7 11,220 Posted September 15, 2016 I'm 30, 5'5 , and 260. I have everything that you listed was wrong with you.. I can't tell you how making the decision to get sleeved ( 6 days to go) has helped me think of the future. During the pre op, I have no Gerd, my sugars have been lower than before and I feel more healthier and energetic. I highly encourage you to get the surgery and good for you! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App I was told sleeve wouldn't be a good choice for my GERD? I have a lot to research still . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App the sleeve will *often* make GERD worse, but not *always*. You won't know until after the surgery which way you'll go on this.

Odie 249 Posted December 9, 2016 I was 62 when I had gastic bypass, I had everything you have and it is all gone now. My surgeon told me that the sleeve would not be a good option because it can cause acid reflux and make current reflux worse. I have NEVER regretted my decision!! I was only obese for 10 years but they were an awful 10 years!! Not just because of how I looked but how people looked at me and how obese people are treated in general!!
