Surgery For Acid Reflux

[RAINYDAYS]

has anyone had surgery for bad acid reflux & did it work.
I ask because after suffering indigestion, heartburn & stabbing pains in ribs for the last 18 months,I think that is what the consultant is going to offer me when I go back in 2 weeks.Ive had every test you can think of.certainly got my moneys worth of the nhs this last 18 months. thanks

razza, I also wake up choking with acid reflux, I take omeprazole every day but I still get it, and it frightens me, as I just cannot breathe and hubby has no idea what to do.

netibiza,yes it is frightening when youre gasping for breath,but i dont eat any spicy food,cut right back on alcohol intake and if i do have a drink its not much and i have a zantac tablet when i have a drink,i take omeprazole twice a day and luckily i only get minor reflux occasionally now.Nothing anyone can do for it if you are gasping for breath.

well went back to see consultant for latest test results. muscle in food pipe not closing properly.no op for it he is writing to my GP to see if he can give me medication for it.Relieved it is nothing to serious, but it is is a pain to live with.
