I had reflux that had to involve surgery. My stomache , 1/3 of it is wrapped around my esophagus and this was in 1996,. It still gives me problems, so do as the others said. Take the scripts the ENT gives you and I hope they help your problem. Esophagus was so irritated it looked like raw ulcerated liver. It ain't the big C until it is biopsied and confirmed.

Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
