Good Morning
I am new here. I am contemplating RYGB instead of Nissen Fundalication for GERD. My surgeon recommended RYGB instead of Nissen due to my weight and comorbidities. I am a diabetic, psoriatic arthritis and high blood pressure. Surgeon feels that Nissen will fail because of weight and RYGB is my best option.
I am a nurse of 15 years. I worked on surgical floor my first 5 years. I saw a lot of people with extreme issues from gastric bypass. I have not heard of enough people not having issues.
I would just like to know if people who did have issues did they wish they never had surgery?
Surgery is my future one way or another since GERD is so severe and medication does not control at all.
Thanks
