Did any of you get rid of Barrett?

Well I tried. I even had the surgery but it's still there.

What is your doctor suggesting that you try next, and are you still taking PPIs?

Just keep PPI, domperidona and try to control stress. Also, avoid some kinds of foods. Don't think it's helping. My fundo is not fully functional. Did you get rid of Barrett?

I had the Nissen Fundoplication on last Wednesday the 21st. The reason I had this surgery was 2 fold. I have had acid for 7 years, and started endoscopies 5 hrs ago. I was told I had Barrett’s, and dysplasia. I was set up and under general anesthesia with a new (and very well respected doctor) to ablate and dissect any areas of Barrett’s to reduce and remove the dysplasia and potential for cancer last November. As he started looking he stopped surgery because of my med/large hiatal hernia. He sent me to my surgeon, and told me to come back after surgery to him and he would do the procedure. The exciting thing for me, is my surgeon told me that the surgery itself may reverse the Barrett’s. The hernia was creating the acid in my esophagus! I cannot go for an endoscopy for a year to a year and a half, my surgeon does not want to have my NF undone. I will know then if this whole thing reversed my Barrett’s.
For you, has your Doctor discussed ablation?
