Surgery: Luckily, Grade A is the mildest form of erosive esophagitis. However, if high dose PPI's don't work - a procedure called a Nissen fundoplication can be used to help. Here's a great Medscape article that discusses all of the details. Hope that helps! ahttp://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1892517-overview

Have they: Suggested surgery?? Meanwhile do you sleep on an incline? Take a ppi in the AM on an empty stomach? Take one twice a day?? Kept a food diary to find offensive foods? Tried carafate (sucralfate)?
