I have had gerd and a hiatial hernia for bout 5 years. just got the ph test done - not fun. None of the meds have worked for me. the doc put me on kapidex 1 week so far and no change. I am really thinking surgery would be the best answer. This is a miserable thing to live with every day. My symptoms are burning in the chest region with pain, but i do not suffer from anything else. I have tried changing my diet and am not overweight. I do smoke and know i will quit if i have the surgery. i just want to feel better. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thank you
