Does VSG typically increase heartburn

There are no malabsorption issues with a sleeve because the small intestine is not altered.

Yes, they can fix it during the same surgery.

Mine is about the same. I took Prevacid for years before surgery and still do. They did do a test to make sure I didn't have a hernia to qualify for the sleeve. As long as I don't to much or too fast or eat super spicey food I am fine.
