What happens when acid reflux comes back after surgery 6 months ago?
I had surgery to cure my acid reflux that i've been suffering from for 10 plus years. It's only been 6 months and the reflux came back again! Why would this happen? What other options would they take to fix this? Will i need another surgery?
I had my gallbladder out in 2003 and got some relief but all symptoms are now back with a vengeance and can't blame the gallbladder. Very frustrating. I hope you find a solution.Janice

I know that I have heard of people having reflux issues after having nissan fundoplication which is the surgery I assume you are referring to. I did a little digging and reading about it and found the above link that talks about the pros and cons of the procedure and the frequency with which people have issues afterwards. It was higher than I expected.
As you are having symtpoms again, you should talk to your doc about your symptoms and come up with a plan. This may include checking to see if the procedure has slipped or needing medicine again.
Good Luck - Stephanie
