Researching Esophyx and Weight Loss Surgery

Splash New Member Date Joined Mar 2012 Total Posts : 2	Posted 3/14/2012 7:00 PM (GMT -6)
	I've recently completed pre-op testing for the gastric sleeve weight loss surgery. My surgeon recommended I have the Esophyx prior to surgery since the sleeve often increases GERD. If I want it, I'll need to do it before the surgery as it can't be completed afterward. Apparently this is a fairly new concept. Anyone here have any experience or knowledge of these two things being performed together? Back to Top

	Splash Hello and welcome. To the best of my knowledge I have never seen a post by anyone who had the proposed procedure done for the reason you have explained. That is not to say someone will be along with info for you. I wish you well and hope your find answers to your concerns.
