"Since the day of surgery, I haven't experienced reflux, heartburn, nausea, or vomiting. My quality of life is excellent now."

Twenty years after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, I began experiencing severe acid reflux and digestive problems. I constantly suffered from gastritis, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, abdominal pain, and difficulty tolerating food. My digestion felt completely out of control, and these symptoms significantly affected my quality of life.

Dr. Nestor de la Cruz-Muñoz recommended converting my sleeve gastrectomy to a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass to address the reflux. Even though I was nervous about having another bariatric operation, I decided to move forward with surgery because my symptoms had become so severe.

The results were immediate. From the very first day after surgery, my reflux symptoms disappeared. I have not experienced heartburn, nausea, vomiting, or acid reflux since the procedure. My digestion is functioning normally, and my recovery was smooth, with no complications and very little discomfort.

I am incredibly grateful to Dr. de la Cruz-Muñoz and his entire team for their support, guidance, and outstanding care. They were attentive throughout the entire process, and thanks to this surgery, I now have an excellent quality of life. I highly recommend Dr. de la Cruz-Muñoz to anyone considering treatment for severe reflux after sleeve gastrectomy.
