A member asked:
Does the stomach pain caused by my gerd go away after having a nissen fundoplication?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It should.: Prior to performing a fundoplication, i always have my patients undergo a 24-hr pH test. This will objectively measure the severity of your gerd and allow us to correlate your pain episodes with your reflux; this will help predict your response to surgery. Keep in mind that most people with gerd do not need surgery; this disease is usually best managed non-surgically.

GERD usually ...: ... Causes esophageal pain (heartburn) and not stomach pain ... If stomach pain, then gerd may not be cause, and fundoplication may not fix this stomach pain.
