A member asked:
Did a barium swallow; results: spontaneour regurg. md suggests nissen. is there anything else i could do to strengthen les without surgery?

Not really: GERD is a tough problem. Eat small meals. Don't eat before bed time. Antacid medication, and watch what you eat. Hot spicy foods may worsen reflux. Tomatoes also will cause symptoms. My humble opinion is to hold off surgery until you tried everything else and when that fails surgery. A very very common problem. Good luck

I'm going to request a barium swallow this week, but 8 weeks post Nissen and when I swallow I have a gurgle and what seems to be excess saliva. Albeit, less than before surgery. Am I being impatient and should watch this for a few months to assess?
Barium swallow prior to fundoplication (anti-reflux) surgery, why is this?
38yr old. GERD issues. Endoscopy reveals mild lax les. DOctor suggests surgery. Is this the only option left? Is there no other way to cure this?
Nissen performed in July. Symptoms so much better, but I can hear a gurgle up after I swallow at night. It a lot less than what it was before surgery, but I am refluxing. Redo nissen now? Or monitor for Barrett's and wait?
If a nissen wrap is disrupted but reflux is slightly better ie still the pain but no regurgitation, is redo surgery required? Or will it get worse?
