I am a little over 3 years post op from Gastric Sleeve. Around the 3 year mark, I started getting severe heartburn, and nothing is helping. I was on 80 mg of Nexium a day and it barely made a dent in the heartburn, but I had sever side effects. I'm now being told by a Gastroenterologist it's because of the sleeve and my only option is to get a Roux-en-y. Has anyone else heard of this?

Did you not have any reflux up until the 3 rd year mark? Did you take PPI’s that whole time too? What kinds of foods do you eat?

I have been on a PPI since the sleeve and tried to go off of it several times, but always got heartburn. But that was nothing like it is now. It's so bad now I feel like my chest is on fire. I eat very bland foods and do not drink any carbonation. They tried to do a PH test on me, but I couldn't swallow the tube. Now I have to have a sensor attached to my esophagus to test the acid. I'm having bad side effects to the high doses of PPI, so they say if the PH is too high then my only choice is to suffer of get the Roux-en-y. I'm not looking forward to either.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
