Hello
Need some feed back please.
I had my gastric sleeve in 2016 now suddenly last year of 2021 I start having lot of Acid reflux and Bile reflux backing up in the stomach and throat at Night !! Now I am having upper stomach pains and medications is not working anymore also downing Tums all day so I call my bariatric doctor I was very surprise when he told me I would have to do a revision to the gastric bypass OMG I was not willing to do that I did not want to have anymore weight loss surgeries so my doctor told me that G bypass is the only way of getting rid of the reflux .I am so scared knowing the risk and a chance of having other issues and problems my doctor is working with my insurance company waiting to see if the would be approve it . is there any other options ?
