Hi people how successful is surgery for reflux medication is simply not working the last gi seen said there's no point taking medication and he can't do anything have to wait for other consultant then ph monitoring said oh it's not serious is there any point in taking any more ppis I have tryed 3 now and to be honest the side effects I suffer with not worth it what other things that could be going on could be contributing to the reflux and surgery is it safe to have ?

I too have lpr and NOT gerd, I never suffered with heartburn or indigestion, but I do suffer with burning in back of throat, hoarseness, coughing after eating and my worst and most frightening symptom is asthma like wheezing at certain times of the day (mainly morning and evening). My question is can I ask what it is you have been hospitalized for? Because I have been hospitalized 3 times in the last 2 months with what the docs are convinced are asthma attacks, I however am convinced its lpr related and not asthma at all, but I'm struggling to be taken seriously with tho by the respiratory doctors! I was put on omeprazole by gp a couple months ago and that has definitely help a little with cough. Iv lost so much weight, I'm now down to 7.5stone as iv developed a terrible relationship with food now, I'm doin everything they Say, cutting out fats no eating hours before bed, iv stopped cafine, nicotine and alcohol completely but still suffering! I'm a busy 34yr old hairdresser and mum to little ones, can I ask you how long you have been a sufferer and is there anything you do to help symptoms? This is all pretty new (and scary) to Me! Thanks! X

I'm the same. No pain or heart burn in chest. All in my throat,continual coughing and throat clearing. At the worst times its up nasal passages. Things are bad at the moment as I have gone of PPIs and H2 blockers for the Ph test next Tuesday / Wed. I'm hoping the results are good so I can see a ENT and sort out the problem.
