Hi,

I have been suffering with GERD for about 6 years now and it is getting worse. I had an endoscopy a few years ago which showed a small hatius hernia, a polyp on my esophagus and weak stomach lining. I attended my local gastro clinic and to be honest they were not much help. Over the past 5 years i tried many PPI's but none have worked for more than a couple of weeks then i'm back to vomiting uncontrollably every morning. It's taking a huge toll on my life and I am now looking onto more long term options. Has anyone had the above surgery? Did you have to ask your dr or was it recommended? MOST IMPORTANTLY DID IT WORK??

many thanks
