GERD structural.: The problem is that GERD is caused by a structural aberrancy at the junction of the esophagus with the stomach, and medication will not fix this. Lifestyle measures like weight loss and avoiding eating late at night will reduce its effect on you, but the structural issue will remain. So, no, GERD not solved unfortunately.
