A member asked:
I want surgery to correct my acid reflux and to stop bile from entering my stomach, can this be done together? same day

Unlikely but...: Bile reflux and acid reflux are not the same. However, fundiplication can prevent both from entering the esophagus. That being said, the bile will still be able to go from the duodenum to the stomach, but you might not feel that.
