GERD Surgery: Is It Right for Me?

Try a glass of water with a spoonful of baking soda! It works every time for me! 💕

What are the downside of surgery, I am fine most of the day as long as I don’t lay down; the moment I do so, after 10 minutes, I hear this sound and gnawing feeling, all the air starts to push everything up. I follow special diet for the most part, never drink carbonated drinks, alcohol etc. Avoid spicy foods and red meat, you name it. This special diet helps but the real problem is when laying down, even with the elevated torso and head I have this problem. Feeling hopeless, I believe I need surgery, so curious to know what is the downside of the surgery?

This happens to me and gotten worse lately since I’ve been in a flare. I sip on apple cider vinegar water/tea throughout the day and lemon water with frankincense oil and it helps a lot. Salt helps with the nausea that comes along with it for me.

Honestly I was throwing up everyday. Using Braggs apple cider vinegar fixed my issue after many years. We are our own best doctor. Try healing it naturally. I'm proof it works. I've tried most meds available and they didn't fix anything. Doctor's treat symptoms they don't cure things. Surgery may work but it won't keep it from coming back.❤️

I am in the same boat as you, hernia is not big enough, PPIs don’t work much, everytime I lay down acid goes up burns esophagus, throat and nose drills. This week I will see another GI specialists, I’ve suggested surgery since day 1 and they keep doing other tests but not surgery. 2 years without sleep and miserable.

Seek another specialist; weigh the positive and negative make the choice with your doctor.

So sorry for your pain😥. I know it well have this and sjogrens.Been throwing up daily for years and have problems swallowing. So I discovered a solution that has allowed me to go off meds for it.. Hot tea with 1tsp vinegar, 1 lemon juice and 1 tsp honey. I do it 3 times a day before meals like a half hour. You will get use to it.
