    Hi Bob,

    I've not had the surgery yet ( been waiting for 3yrs!). I've had it cancelled 3 times by the hospital, but have been given a new date in October, so fingers crossed I'll finally get the surgery!!

    I think you have to weigh up the pros and cons for yourself depending on how severely it affects your quality of life. for me the decision is easy - I'm impacted so severely by night time vomiting and regurgitation and then inhaling my stomach contents as it wakes me, which in turn causes severe asthma attacks and nasty chest infections including severe aspiration pneumonia twice where I've ended up in hospital for weeks on end on a ventilator fighting for my life! so, for me it's a necessity...

    Good luck whatever you decide!
