Bile Reflux?

May 21, 2015

I had RNY done 7/2014, hernia repair 9/2014, and then a revision to SIPS 3/2015. (I had a very large marginal ulcer that would not heal)

I have always suffered with acid reflux/gerd. With the RNY I had no issues with it.

I am currently 2 months post op of SIPS. My acid reflux has gotten horrible. I've tried 80mg of Prilosec and 60mg of Dexilant. I have been on Prilosec since 2007.

One morning I spit up bile and a dab of blood. It was soo painful. I have never done that before.

So I had a scope done this week. The GI doctor found my esophagus and sleeve is red and irritated. He took a biopsy as well. He suggested to keep taking my meds and to eat smaller meals through out the day. (I've been doing this)

The GI doctor said that my test results will be back in 10 days and to come back in 2 weeks for a follow up. He never said if I had bile reflux.

It always seems to be something...

Is there a fix if I do have bile reflux????
