Thanks for your endoscopy and manometry reports , it clearly explain why your symptoms are so severe. After your sleeve gastrectomy, your stomach became a narrow, high-pressure tube that naturally pushes acid upward. On top of this, you now have a recurrent hiatal hernia, which allows the stomach to slip upward into the chest and makes reflux even worse. The most important finding is from your manometry: ineffective esophageal motility, meaning your esophagus is too weak to push food down properly. Because of this, food and acid remain in the esophagus for a long time, causing burning, regurgitation, difficulty swallowing, and the constant nighttime discomfort you described. This also explains why PPIs stopped working — the problem is not excess acid alone, but the combination of a high-pressure sleeve, a hernia, and a weak esophagus.
Next Steps
In this situation, no amount of medication or repeated hernia repairs will give lasting relief, and anti-reflux surgeries like fundoplication or LINX are not suitable because they can worsen swallowing problems when the esophagus is weak. According to bariatric and foregut surgery guidelines, the gold-standard and most effective treatment for someone in your condition is conversion from sleeve gastrectomy to a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). This procedure dramatically reduces acid reflux, lowers stomach pressure, prevents bile reflux, helps the esophagus heal, and is the safest option when esophageal motility is poor. It is also the most reliable way to stop your night-time burning, regurgitation, and swallowing problems.
Health Tips
Until you undergo the definitive surgery, symptoms can be managed temporarily with high-dose PPIs twice daily, a motility-enhancing medicine at bedtime, alginate syrup at night, strict dietary control, and sleeping with the head elevated. But it is important to understand that these will only reduce symptoms — they will not fix the underlying anatomical issues. You are not imagining your suffering; your reports perfectly match your symptoms. Converting to gastric bypass is the treatment that can give you long-term relief and allow you to live normally again.
