A member asked:
I have gerd, 5mmhg les, and 0 peristaltic of esophagus. am i a good candidate for 270 fundo? will it cure my non-working esophagus and gerd? thanks

GERD,Slow esophagus: You are not a good candidate for a 270 degree wrap because of your esophageal dysmotility. The wrap may improve or "cure" your GERd but you are at increased risk of dysphagia. Improving the function of your esophagus needs to be addressed in order for you to have good functional result from antireflux surgery.
