A member asked:
Well, my physician has finally said, you don't respond to ppis and have bile reflux so it may be surgery time. i've been begging for nissen for three years, now i'm nervous as sin. will it really help reflux, and reduce cancer risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly : postprandial bile reflux is blocked by fundoplication but not by PPIs which can only block resting bile reflux. Make sure you consult with a gastroenterologist at an academic center because further trials are needed to support the growing belief surgery may reduce cancer risk.

Bile reflux, 7 months post nissen, still think I may be refluxing at night and possibly during day. If I am, what medications In a.m. and p.m. should I discuss with my physician. A little upset as I had this surgery to alleviate reflux.
I suffer from Bile Reflux, I do not respond to PPI's. My gastro does not want to perform surgery as no Barrett's exists, but my throat hurts daily and thats is taking 40 mg Aciphex daily. Should I consider Nissen Fundoplication? This is frustrating.
Why does nissen fundoplication reduce reflux symptoms, but not Barrett's or cancer risk? I'm getting mixed messages on benefits of surgery.
I have duodenogastric bile reflux. Can fundoplication help this? I know the surgery is more for espophageal reflux but can it help this too?
