Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Please upload your endoscopy pictures and reports and I shall be happy to give my opinion.
Most people with a lax esophageal sphincter can be treated with medicines and only rarely require surgery if the medicines and life style changes fail.
Take care
