Cmac, There are only 3 sutures holding the fundus area of your stomach around your esophagus, and you could have possibly popped a suture or your wrap could have migrated up or down your esophagus so...
Cmac, First, you have to establish you are truly refluxing, and that would require an endoscopy, 24 hr ph monitoring, or implanted Bravo device. If it is determined you are refluxing to a degree...
Cmac, I answered your previous post, and I had my barium swallow xrays on Monday which turned out "negative." Next step for me is an endoscopy to see if I have esophagitis, gastritis, or any other...
