I have severe reflux and have been going through different tests and i have 2 weeks before I see my surgeon to go over my results.  So far ive had upper GI and I'm scheduled for endoscopy this Thursday and then the following Friday my Surgeon 10/14 I just want to know what to expect.  Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately I have no answer for you.  I do have a friend who is going through the same thing.  She had the sleeve last October, never had reflux before the surgery, and now suffers with it really bad.  I would be interested in hearing what your surgeon has to say.

Good luck

Yes, there are people here who have revised to RNY after terrible GERD with the sleeve. (not me, I had the band with terrible GERD).

There was a lady that replied to a comment that I made saying....

"I converted from VSG to RNY because of severe reflux that began 1 year after my surgery.  Had I not had the reflux issue, I would have been extremely happy to remain a VSG'er for the rest of my life."

I converted to RNY on 7/1 because of severe GERD.  My acid is gone.  Is there something you particularly want to know?  Ask away. . .  I'll answer any questions that I can.

How have you been doing so far?  Have you lost more weight? How much?  And if you work how long before you could return to work?   I work in a factory.

Hi Elia, I remember you from last year, we had surgery just a 8 days apart.  I'm very sorry you are having issues, and I hope that your surgeon can help you work it out.
