Well, I finally got to the bottom of this situation. I had to get my primary dr. to explain everything that the LPR dr. didn't! She said "he's a good surgeon but has terrible bedside manner". No kidding! Anyway, the name of the surgery he wants to do is called cricopharyngevs myotomy (top of the esocphagus) and the Stretta procedure which is the bottom esocphagus. Has anyone had this surgery, or know someone whose had this surgery? I really need some feedback before I do it.
Thanks,
Hi
Sorry Im no expert but here's a link to a recent study that appears to be due for a write up this Year;
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01880892
My understandings are the top sphincter is the problem for us allowing the reflux up into our throats and beyond. Im sure you know all this but it was all new to me as a recent sufferer. I'll follow this with interest as getting both ends sorted seems a possible option to getting rid of this dreadful disease. All the very best
Hi, I do not know about the top one, but Stretta is a therapy more like an endoscopy with therapy, which I'm considering myself for the near future. ;-)
Could you tell me more about this please
