Gastric Sleeve always will increase the pressure in your stomach and in consequence will increase the risk of acid reflux. If the patient presents acid reflux without esophagitis or Barrett syndrome can be candidate to a Gastric sleeve but in all this cases is imperative looking for a Hiatal Hernia and Repair to prevent that the acid reflux persist after surgery. All patients with Barrett syndrome will be candidate to a Gastric bypass as antireflux procedure and treatment of the Obesity.
That will depend on how bad you GERD is. If you have mild to moderate gerd meaning you only get gerd after eating certain types of foods. You are okay to have the sleeve most of the gerd is probably caused by being over weight. If your gerd is currently being treated with one antacid that controls it well, you are also okay to have the sleeve. If your gerd is severe, meaning you take two or more different types of antacids then the sleeve may make your gerd worse. You do not have to have a bypass. You can also have the sleeve with duodenal switch (SADI-S). Its safer than the bypass, and the weight loss is better. Look into it. I am in Altamonte Springs, if you have any more questions, stop by.
This is probably healing tissue from the recent surgery. In surgery it is called the "healing ridge". As far as feeling gas pain after eating, eat slow, do not drink or swallow too fast. Swallowing too fast can cause gassy pain and disconfort this soon after surgery.
Chances are you will have to wait a few months, and by then you may be done breast feeding . However, the surgery will interrupt your breast feeding, and the post operative pain medication will go through to your breast - so it may be a time when you will want to use formula.
I agree fully with the previous surgeon. Do not even consider the band. You will be very unhappy at the end. A sleeve will be a great option for you. As previously stated it will not affect absorption of your medications. The sleeve also has a great weight loss...
