aubrie56 0 Posted April 20, 2018 I am considering gastric sleeve over gastric bypass mostly because of the less invasive process but I do suffer from moderate heartburn and am curious if that will effect my chances of getting the sleeve over the bypass. Any info would be much appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XYZXYZXYZ1955 675 Posted April 20, 2018 I keep reading that it's a factor, but I have GERD and have been on prescription antacids for years, and I have had the sleeve. I don't notice any difference, quite honestly. 1 CrazieConnie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BostonWLKC 807 Posted April 22, 2018 Bypass is known to eliminate it. Folks have posted that their sleeve increased GERD and they end up having a converting surgery to bypass Good luck with your decision HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17)GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18)GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18)GW#3- 160CW 1735’6” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creekimp13 5,840 Posted April 22, 2018 I had an endoscopy before surgery, and had moderate gastritis caused by GERD. I also had a haital hernia, which can cause GERD. Had my hernia fixed and had sleeve. I have very little acid now, and am thrilled with the results. Some people do have acid issues with sleeve. Bypass people typically don't. Bypass people do have some other issues, though....so it's a trade off. Talk to your doctor. Pay your money and take your chances:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
