just checking in with everyone. has anyone ever got relief from lpr. i take ppis 2 a day and get no , i mean no relief. my throat is as red as a fire truck and has been for 1.5 yrs. scheduled for another manometry, 24 hr ph study and endoscopy. also have gastritis induced from drugs(prescribed) and a slight delay in stomach emptying. all the antidepressants and addictive sedatives did the damage. anyone get better with surgery. i have heard plaind gerd sufferers improving with fundo, but those of us with gerd/lpr i honestly have not heard of improvement
I had silent GERD. My lungs were constantly irritated from the acid. Meds were no helping me anymore.
I had the surgery last month and am feeling great. I don't cough all the time from gunk. I had a partial Nissen called a Hill procedure (270 degree wrap).
