GERD and Sleeves

I'm really sorry to hear that I can't imagine how devasta ting and frustrating a process this has been for you

Are you in a position to sue your previous surgeon? Will you be going ahead with corrective surgery or another plan of action?

Wishing you all the best.

god willing the insurance will cover it since its a medically necassary.....i contacted a lawyer hopefully it will work out....ive talked to a bunch of his patients who are all having serious issues after surgery

Sending you tons of positive vibes, I'm sorry this has happened to you. 

Hi how are you getting on? Have you found anything that helps? I'm newly sleeved and have been sleeping propped upright by a trI pillow otherwise it is awful, been praying this is not how it is always gonna be. Sending positive vibes

i was put on sleeping meds becuase i cant sleep becuase of the gerd i sleep with 10 pillows....I have the ph test and mammontry test this week and they will decide from there either fix my sleeve or rny....im done i want the rny i feel its my only chance of not suffering....mabye you willhave better luck some do me not so much

Good luck this week I hope from there it will be a swift process to get you the RNY

my surgeon has put me on Omeprazole, I am 5 years post ok sleeve and after having my two kids I have recently developed bad Heartburn that zantac, tums, and prilosec just wasn't working for me. So Goethe past three days I have not had an heartburn issues this stuff is a wonder to me.

you super lucky they have tried lioke 4 different meds none really work....at night its the worst cuz only thing that helps is eating something then i notice im eating just to sleep.....im so over this i want the rny

have you tried omeprozole? are they willing to do the RNY on you to fix the GERD? my Dr suggested RNY to me to lose more weight, but not to fix heartburn and the acid indigestion... I'm seriously waiting for this pill not to work anymore, but so far so good. if they are willing to write a script for it if you haven't tried it I would ask.. give you a little relief until RNY happens

Doc has me on protonix once a day and Zantac twice a day. It has helped,a lot. I also eat small meals 6 times a day instead of 3 meals. That way the acid doesn't have as much time to build up without anything to lower it.  Watch acidic foods - I can't eat anything with tomatos in it. Ketchup is tomato and vinegar which is BAD. 

My surgeon has mentioned a revision on RNY, But I like being able to take NSAIDs. I am on anti inflammatory meds now and refuse to give them up :)
