I am interested in learning more about surgical procedures for treating hiatal hernia and gerd. I'd like to hear from those who have experience with these procedures. Specifically, I am interested in Transoral Incisionless Fundaplication with EsophyX. scb11


Hello! It is so important to find out more about these new surgical techniques for treating GERD. You need to find a doctor who will explain the pros and cons of each type of procedure compared to a traditional fundoplication. Ask for a second opinion and discuss the different options with your gastroenterologist.
Good luck,

hi i have been suffering from a hatial hernia and gerd for 5 yrs now some days i feel like i'm having a heart attack to a point I went to see a heart specialist. all was ok. my GI told me that surgery does not always work, and wen its done you can not longer burp or vomit??? someting to think about..... I guess we suffering people have to eat a trick diet and hope with new madical research that one day they will find a cure thats works!!!
