My surgery was on 10/10. I know exactly how you feel. Please come back and tell us how your doing afterwards. Good luck and stay positive.

If your surgeon is experienced then fear not. I guarantee you if your reflux is bad enough, then even the first days after the surgery will be a bliss compared to before.
