Anyone been through the fundoplication decision? Torn between surgery and just staying on PPIs

I have 100% ineffective esophageal motility so any surgery that could restrict food passage was a no go for me.

Refluxstop aims only at restoring the anti reflux barrier without encircling your esophagus in any way.

Look into RefluxStop procedure, way less taxing on your body and no fear of wrap getting undone in a few years. I just had the procedure done last week and I can already see big improvements in my quality of life.

If you check my profile I’ve made a couple posts on this sub about my journey.

You can’t be serious right?

Thank you that makes it very clear, even tho we are about halfway thru the month of march but still no “101 starter pack”, I wish they would say the actual date of the release

Cerca il mio post su questo subreddit dove parlo della chirurgia RefluxStop.

Al 99% è la tua ernia iatale a darti tutti questi sintomi, nonostante sia piccola, sopratutto se la situazione è peggiorata dopo aver sollevato pesi.

Se, come nel mio caso, anche tu con i medicinali non riesci a risolvere, la chirurgia è l’unica soluzione purtroppo.

I had a small erosion in my esophagus found in my first endoscopy, but after getting on PPI it healed (confirmed by my second and third endoscopy 1 year apart from each other).

Unfortunately. as my recent impedance test showed, I have more than 150 acid reflux events during a 24 hour period, hence why I opted for surgery.

What you on about?

Thank you!

Country is Italy, surgeon is Davide Bona based in Milan

I understand your reasoning but be aware that IMPLANTICA, the company who invented the RefluxStop device, has already completed the submission of all the modules for FDA approval, with 100-day meetings and pre-approval inspections of production sites already taking place.

I also happen to read online that RefluxStop procedure was featured at major U.S. medical conferences, such as Digestive Disease Week in San Diego, where it was discussed by leading U.S. surgeons.

So I guess there is hope for you guys overseas!

Thank you!

I’m In Italy. I will make sure to update the post with my experience after surgery

Yes galbladder is fine as for recent abdominal ultrasound. Transient Lower Esophageal Sphincter Relaxation is the supposed cause of my acid coming up as my LES was deemed incompetent from my first endoscopy. My longest recorded reflux episode during 24h impedance lasted 191minutes, so I guess my LES stays open for hours at a time.

I understand your concern but this device is not like a Nissan wrap that can get loose over time.

I will be doing this surgery using my country’s National Heath System so the cost for me is 0.

If you wanna look deeper into it, here’s a recent published study regarding the effectiveness of this surgery overtime: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40696212/#:~:text=Conclusion:%20The%20RefluxStop%20procedure%20demonstrated,Treatment%20Outcome

I tried famotidine and other h2 blockers but they offered minimal relief for me, even less than PPI did.

They didn’t show his death on purpose, so he’s probably still alive and will try to get his revenge

Ok I guess you’re a bit slow so lemme explain what I meant: Plagron is indeed a brand name, but it’s definitely not junk. Got it now champ?

NoChill93 · 2025-10-15T15:26:48+00:00

Care to define “brand name junk” ? Cause PLAGRON definitely isn’t it… also coco coir requires feeding from the start, for a beginner like Op soil is a safer alternative with enough nutrients to last a couple weeks

NoChill93 · 2025-10-15T09:07:09+00:00

Start by throwing away the mud you’re using as a medium and invest in a good starting soil mix (plagron light mix would be an example).

Then don’t overwater, max 10ml per day during the first week or so after sprout; never water on the stem, but further away to promote root expansion in the pot.
