I just had surgery on my arm last Wed. I've had this problem on very few occasions before now, but ever since this surgery I've gotten heartburn many times. Do you think it's just a temporary thing because of this surgery? Or that it won't be temp? The main reason I'm asking is I know that with the WLS surgery (RNY and bypass) one is suggested over the other when it comes to heartburn. Which one can I get that is the best one for it? TIA and sorry I have so many questions.

Sleeve can make heartburn worse.  RNY can cure it.

The Sleeve is generally not recommended for people who have GERD prior to surgery.  The RNY is usually the better procedure if you have heart burn now.
