A member asked:

Is it possible to have acid reflux 6 yrs after gastric bypass?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes...: The restriction imposed by the gastric bypass operation is a set-up for reflux especially if you eat too fast or too much. Slow down your eating, consume smaller portions and use an acid blocker if necessary to treat symptoms of reflux. Good luck!
