I'm hoping someone can help me out. I really want the Sleeve but I have heard that people with acid issues should not get it. Has anyone experienced worsening acid issues with the Sleeve? I don't take acid pills but I probably go through a thing of Tums in 2-3 weeks or so. I take maybe 1-3 Tums a day, sometimes more if it's really bad. I've done tons of research on the sleeve but have no idea what to expect with the Bypass... Will I have issues with Vitamin deficiencies??? Will the acid be better? Should I chance it and go with the sleeve anyways??? I like that the sleeve takes care of the hunger hormone, so how does the bypass work???

I believe both surgeries remove the hormone, but remember it will return. I seen it return faster w/ the sleeve.

I started wanting the Sleeve but changed my mind after I finished my 6 month supervised visits. The Bypass was a better option for me. Have you tried speaking to your surgeon? What is his recommendation?

I also originally wanted the sleeve. I had acid issues and when I heard the doctor speak about that I changed it to the rny and I'm glad I did. It immediately cured my acid reflux issues
