Has anyone had any success alleviating their symptoms of reflux or regurgitation from losing weight?

When I first experienced symptoms of reflux I was fairly slim, now I've gained weight I'm hoping to maybe see some improvement from losing 20-30lbs. I'm a 6ft male and weigh 200lbs currently (decent amount of muscle too) . Do you expect this will help my symptoms much?

Regardless I will lose the weight, just the reflux has gone on so many years now that I do not want to wait to lose weight to then have to seek another solution.

Thank you!

    Carrying extra weight will always make it worse Stiffers, no one can guarantee you will be 100% but, it must help.
