A member asked:
If having a gastroesophageal reflux disease operation does this make you unable to eat for a woman if pregnant ?

No: You will have to eat smaller meals and more slowly to allow time for the food to be absorbed when pregnant.

NO: I don't recommend surgery when patients can achieve adequate reflux control with nonsurgical means and are uncertain about having more children. However, i've had many patients who got pregnant (mostly unplanned) after surgery and had no problem during their pregnancy with reflux symptoms or eating mostly anything.
