Fundoplication : A hiatal hernia repair and fundoplication could help with your reflux symptoms. And by taking care of the reflux may make it possible to not require future dilations.

Schatzki ring: Dilation of your esophagus every 2 months times 3, and your symptoms persist, is concerning. You need more diagnostic testing, and a surgery consult in order to determine what option will be best for you. Barrett's changes, esophageal manometry, a contrast swallow study should be considered. Okay to ask your GI doc for a referral.
