Acid Reflex (GERD) & Bariatric Surgery (MGB-OAGB) ?

 Doctor: Mr. Harish, Now we will discuss about GERD and Acid reflux.

Doctor:How was your condition before surgery?What was your situation 10 years back? Patient: Before surgery, I used to feel acidity all the time. I used to have acid reflux after having a meal. Doctor:Ok. Patient:I had heartburn and severe nausea. Patient:I was on very high dose of antacids at that time. Doctor:Ok. Doctor:This used to happen with you before surgery? Patient:Yes! Doctor:Have you ever had to vomit in these 10 years? Patient:With God's grace, I never felt like puking after surgery. Doctor:And what about acid reflux or acidity ? Patient:I took medications prescribed by you for 2-3 months. After that, I stopped all medicines which I was taking and I never felt acidity. I was taking anti-depressants only. Doctor:Do you need any medication now? Patient:If the doctor prescribe any antibiotics or ant-acids for specific reasons such as seasonal fever etc., only then I take them for few days. Otherwise, I don't need any medicine. Doctor:Ok. Patient:Then I stop taking medicines after few days. Patient:I have no problem of acidity now. Doctor:The first reason of acidity or acid reflux was obesity or overweight which was putting a lot of pressure on cardiac sphincter. Patient:Yes! Doctor:If you lie down immediately after having dinner, then obviously it will come upward. Doctor:With weight loss, that pressure is decreased. Doctor:In MGB, we keep the outlet wide. Patient:Ok. Doctor:Like slightly big shoes are always comfortable to wear. Doctor:MGB designing is comfortable for everyone. Doctor:There are many old weight loss procedures, which cause more reflux because of tightness. Patient:Ok. Doctor:We have observed that MGB helps to relieve acid reflux in the majority of patients. Doctor:But weight loss also helps to decrease the problem of reflux. Patient:Yes! Doctor:Along with this try to eat dinner early in the evening. Patient:I live in village so we have habit to wake up and go to bed early. Patient:I don't eat fried foods and non-vegetarian foods. Patient:I don't eat fried foods as well, this is also beneficial for me. Doctor:Yes! Don't eat fried foods in the night. Doctor:Eat your dinner early. Doctor:Maintain your weight. Doctor:By following this you can stay away from all these problems. Doctor:Tell me about your reflux problem now, how is it? Patient:My reflux problem is totally solved now.
