I had horrible gerd as a pre-op and don't have it at all now. I used to take a zantac every single day and still couldn't sleep because of the burning. I'd avoid all gasy or spicy foods - no help. Now I don't have it at all, even while pregnant when most everyone has indigestion, I don't. I still have a half full bottle of zantac that I bought before surgery. I def wouldn't let that deter me from having the DS, which in my opinion is the best surgery to ever grace the earth =) Good luck!!

 I was so happy to find his thread. I have Gerd and have been takinng Prilosec once a day for the last 3 months. I am considering wlS and didn't want to find out that I couldn't get the WLS because of it.

Thanks.

I have had GERD for 25 years.  After my surgery (2005) I take 1/2 the amount of my PPI.

I have been reading that there are a lot of RNYer's that still have GERD so it isn't a 100% cure.

Good luck!
