I don't think you can have the sleeve Fter thenissan fundiplication. They used part or your stomach to fix the reflux and there is won't enough stomach for the sleeve. I may be wrong and hope someone happens along to correct me if iam.

I was told that because I had Barrett's Esophogus that I was restricted to RNY. Now, six months later, I am off my meds for this and, after a recent endoscopy, I was told that my Barrett's is a non- factor.

RNY was the best way for me to go.  Your surgeon will probably tell you the same thing.

Best of luck with your journey!

If you had a Nissan fundoplication, you may or may not be able to have a Sleeve. It's a much more difficult surgery to perform, and you'll have to pick a surgeon very carefully. I know someone who got a DS (same stomach as the Sleeve) after a Nissan.
