I’ve read about gerd impacting surgery choices, does chronic gastritis?

I've never heard anything about that, but I just found this article where it lists gastritis as a risk of sleeve surgery (#7). I'd ask the surgeon - but I'm thinking that if gastritis can be a side effect of VSG, already having it before you even have surgery might be an issue. Although again, I'd just ask your surgeon

Well I had Chronic gastritis, GERD, documentation of a Gastric Ulcer, who I had christened Hector, since his pain hectored my existance quite a bit, and I marched right up for an RNY bypass, never had a VSG or less considered. Remember my surgeon asking if I needed advice to my choice? Nope knew with a 1st cousin dying of esophageal cancer, starting to show Barretts MYSELF, GOD and I had made our decision, he gave a slight chuckle and said then the 3 of us concurred because that also would have been his professional advice. And frankly I had reached the point that surgery was much less frightening than continuing without intervention. And even with my Rocky twisting road of Recovery from it all, I NEVER WOULD want to go back to BEFORE when the HEREAFTER is So Much Better.

thanks @Frustr8 that's good you were able to have the bypass and that you are not wanting to go back to before surgery even with all you've gone through health wise since you had yours 🌸

...... my surgery is planned as the sleeve so just hoping the chronic gastritis won't mean changing this

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
