I have developed really severe GERD after my DS, that is poorly controlled despite proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers, antacids, propping up at night, etc. Rabkin's patient booklet states that if GERD develops post-op, it usually is gone by 3 months out....however, I'm already 11 weeks out and it's not improving. >> I'm glad to know that this is a possibility. If it would have happened to me and not knowing, I would have been scared that I got an RNY instead of DS! Wow - what a nightmare that would have put me through! I hope things improve for you very soon. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
