Horrible reflux with sleeve almost 4 yrs out.
I had the sleeve on Feb in 2011 I am almost 4 years out. I had lost a total of 100 pounds. I was 250 on my surgery day I got down to 150. This past year I have gone up to 170 which is where I am now. I have tried everything to loose it. I have even resorted back to diet pills. (which I said I would never use again after my surgery).
I have suffered with reflux and I have been taking Prilosec ever since my surgery. It has gotten so bad I sometimes wake up from sleep gagging on what I think is acid. If I don't take my meds everyday I have such bad heartburn at night I can't sleep.
The past week every time I eat meat it feels like it is stuck. Kind of like it did when I first had the surgery. I have thrown up a couple of times because of it. My stomach is bigger because I can eat just about as much as I did before my surgery.
My question is from your experience does this sound like I should ask about a revision? I had my surgery at a military hospital so insurance really isnt a problem. Just getting a DR to say I qualify. Any feedback would be appreciated. I am going to call the dr's tomorrow hopefully I can get a appointment before next year.
