I am worried about having the surgery. However, my gastroenterologist, at MD Anderson, said he knows a gastric bypass is drastic, but says I have to do something. He is concerned about the continual damage to my esophagus more than anything else. He said they could just try to redo the nissen again, but given my history he predicted it would fail and I’d still end up having to do the bypass anyway.
Given this, I am also worried about not having it done. I’m taking 80 mg of Nexium daily again along with zofran, simethicone and laxatives.
I worry about the long term effects of taking all of these regularly too. I feel like no option is great
