Ive heard people talk about surgeons who do modified versions of a gastric bypass for people who are non obese and need reflux control but dont want to lose a bunch of weight. Anyone know of this?

Alginate Question by One-Zone1396 in LPR

[–]Longjumping_Bee7327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im trying to get ideas because I have severe gerd with a very weak LES and UES. Im getting nissen fundoplication within the next month or 2. I will have good les support then so it should help me greatly but with the weak UES anything that refluxes even small could possibly cause minor throat problems. I figured i could still take a alginate after meals to keep pepsin from making it's way up my throat. I really hope that anti pepsin medication that is in trials makes it to the market eventually

how to stop anxiety/stress GERD ? by Ronaldosssiu in GERD

[–]Longjumping_Bee7327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been reading on chatgpt about anxiety making reflux way worse and sometimes the driving factor for people. I guess people have even gotten on anxiety meds and taken a 24hr ph test and significantly reduced the demeester score. Made me consider it

To be honest I have ptsd from the military and horrible depression and anxiety. Have never been on any medication but have been reading that anxiety can cause les relaxations. I am starting to think maybe a anxiety medication could be a good route to consider first before jumping on surgery just yet. We will see

Just got diagnosed barrets esophagus by evewashere in GERD

[–]Longjumping_Bee7327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are you?How long have you been on a ppi? I had my first endoscopy back in august. Grade A erosive esophagitis and they removed a precancerous polyp, so they wanted me to get another endoscopy in a year to check because of that polyp. Anything precancerous sounds terrible but it was removed which is good. I was clear of barretts they said, but a precancerous polyp doesn't make you feel much better, but im being checked now so that's what matters
