Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Yes, in almost all cases, the RNY will totally eliminate GERD. Now, ulcers, gastritis...that's another story. in NJ ****************************** > Are the kind of ulcers we develop post op the same kind we developed pre-op? > I (like Vitalady) was an ulcer producing machine. I am now on Nexium once a day, and my gastro dr. believes that will be probably forever. I ask this because I just had a cousin die of cancer of the esophagus and an Uncle who died about 18 years ago from the same thing. I have to say it makes me leery sometimes. My brother has been giving me lectures up the wazoo lately about it (since my cousin's death). I told him that the surgery probably helped to avoid further complications with it (alright, I would have told him anything > at that point), but is there any truth to that? Does anyone know? > Tigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
