Bile reflux

[Salamandertom 0]

Hello,

I had a sleeve gastrectomy in 2016. Recently I had an endoscopy due to swallowing issues (I have multiple sclerosis). The biopsy of my stomach came back with changes and i had mild damage in my distal esophagus. I do not have a GI and have not been being followed by the bariatric center for several years. I have an appointment to see my bariatric surgeon as it seems that the recourse for bile reflux is a revision. Has anyone else dealt with anything like this?

I have bile reflux and damage to my esophagus. At the moment it is bearable and I take a prescribed tablet each morning but my surgeon has advised that I have to keep in mind there may be the need to get bypass surgery at a later date.

I had severe bile reflux from bowel into stomach and oesophagus for 6 months after my surgery. It eventually calmed down and went away. There is a e mediation called cholestyramine that can bind to and neutralise bile. Hopefully you don’t need surgery. Best of luck
