Thanks can I ask how you found the
Surgery and how long it took u to
Recover. I have been told to consider this surgery but the surgeon said u
Can not burp or be sick so I'm
Not sure if it would be the best
Decision? I would really appreciate
Your experience
I'm very concerned about you Hilary. How are you feeling now? It looks like you have taken many different drugs for you reflux. I know with my experience that when I took my acid blocker capsule, I felt like the drug itself was burning my stomach. I think the capsules or pills can disolve near the stomach lining and cause a chemical burn. If a capsule were to get stuck in the esophagus, it would cause a burn there also. You may have accumulated some of these sore spots, and they can cause the same symptoms as the acid reflux. If you take any pills or capsules, make sure you have some food in your stomach to buffer it. And drink a full glass of water with each medication. Don't take any medication right before bed as they could settle into one spot in the stomach. Do you have any new information from your GI doctor?

I am trying to get Hilary to put the head of her bed on blocks so
she isn't flat. Even if u can sleep
flat the acid can still do damage.
I haven't spoken to her I suggested
her go to the emergency too. since
she says she is in misery. She needs
diffetent meds like Protonix(PPI) and Carafate which isn't a PPI. Carafate
is a large pill but if dissolves and coats the esophagus I hope she is doing ok Thanks
Perhaps she did do that and could be in the hospital. Hopefully, she can find a doctor that can help.
