No: A nissen will make your symptoms worse. Any esophageal pathology will not be helped by fundoplication.

Unusual: Unusual for dilitations not to help. What would i do? Have a board certified gastroenterologist try again using a different method, and possibly inject the area with a steroid solution. A nissen may help if recurrence due to cuncontrolled reflux.
