KateBruin 344 Posted March 16, 2019 3 weeks post op with reflux isn’t abnormal. Are you on a PPI? The EGD is easy but seems a bit premature. I’ve had a bunch since surgery august 2017 but I have severe complications Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rene' S 14 Posted March 17, 2019 The doctors are sure why I have it so severe so soon. They just switched my acid reflux meds, I believe to a PPI. Seams a bit better today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mj77803 82 Posted March 17, 2019 I developed a rare case of severe reflux- I had reflux prior to sleeve. When I had my sleeve my symptoms improved for a couple of months about 6 months ago they got so bad I was producing acid while I was sleeping. Because of the medication I was on I wasn't able to wake up. Once we got the EDG results, I had severe inflammation due to the reflux to my esophagus, and because of that it cause a restriction where my esophagus and stomach meet, it made it hard for me to eat. Within a week I was approved for bypass, I will be 2 weeks post op tomorrow. And have been reflux free. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Original sleeve surgeon basically keeps telling me to suffer so I’ve gone to another surgeon and will get bypass April 4. I just pray I’m in his 90% of patients whose GERD is cured. 1 Mj77803 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mj77803 82 Posted March 18, 2019 I had my sleeve in oct 2017. I started with issues about June maybe. July/aug it got worse. Had I known I could have went this route I wouldn't have waited so long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
