2nd opinion: You didn't describe pre-surgical symptoms but presumably you were/are suffering from gerd not amenable to max dose ppi (proton pump inhibitors) & h2 blockers & antacids as well as lifestyle modification. However, you also mentioned barrett's esophagus pre-op but "last scope showed healthy tissue" but no mention of when. Bottom line, talk to your GI doc & get his/her thoughts. 2nd opinion is good.
