Lack of correlation between gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms and esophageal lesions after sleeve

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29571635

Conclusions: Overall GERD symptoms are not more common in patients who have had LSG versus LGB, however, those who have had LSG reported having worsened GERD symptoms when lying down, after meals, and reported to have to change their diets in order to prevent GERD symptoms.

Thank you Missourie-Lee's Summit. This is good information and in-line with my personal experience.

I have more GERD symptoms after lying down and I have had to change my dietary habits to combat GERD, but it's much more manageable than it was with the lapband. Besides, making dietary changes isn't much of a hardship when you're already making so many to adjust to the bariatric surgery.
