I was wondering if I could get testimonials from people who have received surgery for Acid Reflux/GERD? This can be the Fundoplication surgery, as well as the less-invasive laparoscopic surgery. I'm considering surgery to help with my GERD, as I've been suffering for over 10 years with this condition.
Thank you!

My grandmother had the laparoscopic surgery for hiatal hernia and also to straighten out her esophagus. She had alot of pain in her chest for awhile but she is doing much better. It has been about 2 months since the surgery. She has just recently been able to start eating more solid food. As a result of having to be mostly on a liquid diet she has lost 30 lbs, which she is thrilled about. She no longer has to take medicine. I would certainly try it. I know that she also suffered for a long time.

This book is probably the most informative and practical guide on the subject of acid reflux and heartburn that I have ever read https://tr.im/Qj9dQ
I was prescribed Lansoprazole which was brilliant but after two years of aching joints, extreme muscle pain which the doc gave me cortisone jags for, with some research I discovered the drug Lansoprazole was causing these rare side effects but it was I who diagnosed it NOT my doctor, I came off the drug 2 months ago, changed my diet and discovered just eating an apple stops any acid reflux, I eat an apple before bed, brilliant no acid, any time I feel the slightest sign of reflux I simply eat an apple. Apple juice is not that good nor is anything else I have tried including honey at stopping reflux.
